Subject: Barrel Ceiling

I'm looking at a project which has a room about 40 feet wide and has a
ceiling which is barrel shaped. It is not a deep barrel but rather a large
radius, it starts out at the wall with about a 3/12 pitch and as it nears
the apex it, of course, levels out. In trying to apply the rule for design
area increase due to sloping ceilings this situation seems not to fit the
written text very clearly. Can anyone offer an opinion or point me towards a
standard/code I can apply?

 

Thanks,

Russell
