Single Slope buildings are economical for spans that are less than 12 meters wide. The most common conditions for using Single Slope buildings are:
- Whenever rainwater drainage is required to be along one sidewall of the building only.
- When a new Single Slope building is added directly adjacent to an existing building and the designer is required to avoid:
√ The creation of a valley condition along with the connection of both buildings that will result in an expensive water drainage system.
√ The imposition of additional loads on the columns of the existing building.
√ The imposition of additional loads on the foundations of the existing building.
