In determining the increase in design area per 11.2.3.2.4 as applied to a
curved ceiling/roof line, how do we measure the roof slope?
I have drawn a straight line between the peak or highest point of the curve
down to the eve and measured the slope to be 2:12.
The straight line slope does not exceed 2:12 which would require the 30%
increase.
Due to the curve is it ok to treat this as a flat ceiling when applying the
"Slope Ceiling" criteria?
Thank you.
