Edit snow load
This window contains parameters of the snow load. The following settings are available in the frame "Snow load properties" (the range may differ according to the selected national annex):
Snow region |
|
Terrain type |
|
Thermal coefficient |
|
Consider accidental load |
|
The type of snow load and necessary geometric parameters of the roof may be specified in the frame "Roofing type". The task type may be changed after clicking on the button with roof scheme.
Available types of structures
If the setting "Sliding off prevented" is switched on, the snow load shape coefficient μ1 isn't reduced according to the pitch of the roof (figure 5.1 of EN 1991-1-3).
The load factor γF is the partial factor accounting for model uncertainties and dimensional variations in accordance with EN 1990. The values according to the table A1.2(B) of EN 1990 (Set B) are used as a default.
The calculations are described in the chapter "Snow load".
