Abstract
After many roofs were damaged from the 2011 and 2015 New England winters, The Structural Advisory Committee (SAC) to the Massachusetts State Building Code made an emergency amendment to its code to cover repairs to snow damaged roof components when there was less than substantial damage. Also of concern to the committee was when there was snow damage to more than one component in an area of similar construction such as a snow drift area, whether the other undamaged components of the same similar construction should be evaluated for compliance with the International Building Code (IBC). Through the Structural Engineers Association of Massachusetts, the SAC expressed their concerns to the Existing Buildings Sub-Committee (EBC) of the NCSEA Code Advisory Committee. Massachusetts, the SAC expressed their concerns to the Existing Buildings Sub-Committee (EBC) of the NCSEA Code Advisory Committee.
