Program Description:
"ASCE702S" is a spreadsheet program written in MS-Excel for the purpose of flat roof snow loading analysis for
buildings and structures per the ASCE 7-02 Code. Specifically, coefficients and related and required parameters
are selected or calculated in order to compute the net design snow loads, including snow drift due on lower roofs
and rain-on-snow surcharge.
This program is a workbook consisting of three (3) worksheets, described as follows:
