ASCE 7-22 wind (Ch. 26/27/30 — 7-22 exposure constants, Kd in the pressure equations, topographic Kzt per Fig 26.8-1, rigid/flexible gust factor per §26.11), snow (Ch. 7 incl. drift, unbalanced, parapet and sliding per §7.6–7.9 with the Eq 7.6-1 W2 formulation), seismic ELF (Ch. 11–12, SDS/SD1 fetched from the USGS 7-22 geodatabase) and load combinations (§2.3/§2.4 with the 7-22 strength-level snow factors). Ground snow pg and W2 are site-specific — obtain them from the ASCE 7 Hazard Tool. Results are preliminary design aids; a licensed P.E. must verify governing combinations, site-specific ground-motion requirements (§11.4.8), drift geometry and irregularity/redundancy provisions before use.
