Flat Roof Load Calculator

What is a Flat Roof Load Calculator?

A flat roof load calculator estimates the maximum load that a flat roof can support based on the total roof area, material strength, and additional loads.

Why use a Flat Roof Load Calculator?

1. Safety Assurance: Ensures that the flat roof can safely support the expected loads, including snow, equipment, and other factors.
2. Code Compliance: Helps comply with building codes and standards related to flat roof load capacities.
3. Design Optimization: Assists in optimizing the design of the flat roof for load-bearing requirements.
4. Material Selection: Supports decisions on the selection of roofing materials based on load capacity.

How to use a Flat Roof Load Calculator:

1. Input the total roof area (in square feet).
2. Input the roof material strength (in pounds per square foot).
3. Input any additional loads that the roof will need to support (in pounds).
4. Click the "Calculate" button.
5. The calculator estimates the flat roof load capacity based on the provided parameters.

Example of Calculator:

Let's say you have a flat roof with a total area of 800 square feet, a material strength of 100 pounds per square foot, and additional loads of 2000 pounds.

1. Total Roof Area = 800 square feet
2. Roof Material Strength = 100 pounds per square foot
3. Additional Loads = 2000 pounds

Flat Roof Load Capacity: 123000.00 pounds.
