Eurocode 1. Actions on structures. General actions. Snow loads
Also Known As:
The standard BS EN 1991-1-3:2003+A1:2015, titled Eurocode 1. Actions on structures. General actions. Snow loads, provides guidance on determining snow loads for the structural design of buildings and civil engineering works below 1,500m altitude. It covers different design situations and load arrangements based on location. The standard defines parameters such as characteristic values of snow loading on the ground, shape coefficients for roof treatments, and exceptional snow drifts.
The standard has undergone amendments, including the inclusion of UK modified snow load shape coefficients for mono-pitch roofs, introduction of new Nationally Determined Parameters (NDPs) for alternative drifting load arrangements, and the transformation of Annex B from Normative to Informative.
The standard is relevant for civil engineers, structural engineers, health and safety managers, risk assessors, the Met Office, structural design software producers, and rail design software users. It is essential in ensuring the safety and stability of structures under the influence of snow loads.
