Calculate imposed load on roof truss of span 20m with slope of 20˚.

a) 0.75 kN/m2
b) 0.95 kN/m2
c) 0.45 kN/m2
d) 0.55 kN/m2

Answer: d
Explanation: As per IS 875, for roofs of slope greater than 10o, the imposed load is reduced by 0.02 kN/m2 for every degree rise in slope.
Therefore, Imposed load = 0.75 – 0.02*(20o-10o) = 0.55 kN/m2.
