Concept:
Live load:
As per IS: 875, Part 2 specifies the following Live loads:
|
Roof slope |
Access |
Live Load |
|
≤ 10° |
Provided |
1.5 kN/m2 of plan area |
|
> 10° |
Not provided |
0.75 kN/m2 of plan area |
For roof membrane sheets or purlins: 0.75 kN/m2 less 0.02 kN/m2 for every degree increase in slope over 10° subject to a minimum of 0.4 kN/m2.
Calculation:
Given data,
Access is not provided to the roof and the slope = 15°
So, in this case
The live load for the sloping roof is
LL = 0.75 – (15 – 10) × 0.02 = 0.65 kN/m2
