NOTATIONS

1602.1 Notations. The following notations are used in this chapter: D = Dead load. Dᵢ = Weight of ice in accordance with Chapter 10 of ASCE 7. E = Combined effect of horizontal and vertical earthquake induced forces as defined in Section 2.3.6 of ASCE 7. F = Load due to fluids with well-defined pressures and maximum heights. Fₐ = Flood load in accordance with Chapter 5 of ASCE 7. H = Load due to lateral earth pressures, ground water pressure or pressure of bulk materials. L = Roof live load greater than 20 psf (0.96 kN/m²) and floor live load. Lᵣ = Roof live load of 20 psf (0.96 kN/m²) or less. R = Rain load. S = Snow load. T = Cumulative effects of self-straining load forces and effects. Vₐₛd = Allowable stress design wind speed, miles per hour (mph) (km/hr) where applicable. V = Basic design wind speeds, miles per hour (mph) (km/hr) determined from Figures 1609.3(1) through 1609.3(12) or ASCE 7. W = Load due to wind pressure. Wᵢ = Wind-on-ice in accordance with Chapter 10 of ASCE 7.
