i need the load for corrrugated sheets/asbestos roof/metal sheet roofceiling weight for plywood and timber/hardiflex and metal frames;windward-side wind pressure and leeward-side wind pressure in General SantosCity;and wind pressure formula.These are all based on the 2001 Natonal Structural code of the Philippines.

i don't have an idea about these codes but i think when you want to design a truss goto the code you will find the combination of loads you will take in consedration the rain and snow loads in addition to the dead (Own weight) and live loads (from the erection manship) then you will take the highest value of the combinations and use it, but keep in mind if the truss is not simply supported (means if you have an internal support) you will need a design program such as: Staad.pro or SAP2000
i hope that you got the main concept.

You better get the code for the pressures and correct application. Most decent structural handbooks have typical dead loads for materials. If you are doing engineering, you should have the books.
