Practical Design Method of the Snow Load for the Low Rise Roof Structures

Article Preview

Abstract:

The large span roof structures need to be designed to withstand wind and snow loads. This paper presents practical design method of snow load for low rise roof structures in GB 50009-2001(China), ASCE 7-10, AIJ 2006, NBCC 2005 and Euro code 2003, and discusses approaches to improving consistency and uniformity of methods by comparison of the differences and similarities of wind and snow provisions in the codes of various countries.
