(1) EN 1991\u20111\u20113<\/span> <\/span> gives guidance to determine the values of loads due to snow to be used for the structural design of buildings and civil engineering works.<\/p>\n

(2) This Part does not apply for sites at altitudes above 1 500 m, unless otherwise specified.<\/p>\n

\n
\n NOTE:\n <\/div>\n

Advice for the treatment of snow loads for altitudes above 1 500 m may be found in the National Annex.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

(3) Annex A<\/span> gives information on design situations and load arrangements to be used for different locations.<\/p>\n

\n
\n NOTE:\n <\/div>\n

These different locations may be identified by the National Annex.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

(4) Annex B<\/span> gives shape coefficients to be used for the treatment of exceptional snow drifts.<\/p>\n

\n
\n NOTE\n <\/div>\n

The use of Annex B<\/span> is allowed through the National Annex.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

(5) Annex C<\/span> gives characteristic values of snow load on the ground based on the results of work carried out under a contract specific to this Eurocode, to DGIII \/ D3 of the European Commission. The objectives of this Annex are:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • \n

    to give information to National Competent Authorities to help them to redraft and update their national maps;<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    to help to ensure that the established harmonised procedures used to produce the maps in this Annex are used in the member states for treating their basic snow data.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    (6) Annex D<\/span> gives guidance for adjusting the ground snow loads according to the return period.<\/p>\n

    (7) Annex E<\/span> gives information on the bulk weight density of snow.<\/p>\n

    (8) This Part does not give guidance on specialist aspects of snow loading, for example:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • \n

      impact snow loads resulting from snow sliding off or falling from a higher roof;<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    • \n

      the additional wind loads which could result from changes in shape or size of the construction works due to the presence of snow or the accretion of ice;<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    • \n

      loads in areas where snow is present all year round;<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    • \n

      ice loading;<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    • \n

      lateral loading due to snow (e.g. lateral loads exerted by drifts);<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    • \n

      snow loads on bridges.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
