    SECTION 6 - LOCAL EFFECTS

    6.2 Drifting at projections and obstructions

    (1) In windy conditions drifting of snow can occur on any roof which has obstructions as these cause areas of aerodynamic shade
    in which snow accumulates.
    (2) The snow load shape coefficients and drift lengths for quasi-horizontal roofs should be taken as follows (see Figure 6.1), unless
    specified for local conditions:

    μ1 = 0,8
    μ2 = γh/sk → μ2 ∈ [0,8; 2,0] (γ = 2 kN/m3 is the weight density of snow).

    ls = 2h (with the restriction; 5 ≤ ls ≤ 15 m).

    Note Where permitted by the National Annex, Annex B may be used to determine the load case due to drifting.

    ls ls

    h= 2.00 m
    b= 6.00 m
    μ2
    μLR μ1 μ2,min = 0.80 [-]
    b < ls b ≥ ls μ2,max = 2.00 [-]
    h = 2.00 m
    γ= 2.00 kN/m³
    Weight density of snow:
    b < ls
    b = 6.00 m sk = 1.50 kN/m²
    Case b) Case a) Characteristic value of snow L. on the ground.

    ls = 2h = 2 x 2.00 = 4.00 m ls = 5.00 m


    with the limits: ls ∈[5.00; 15.00] Used for calculations.

    projections and obstructions
    Actual values: b = 6.00 m; l=s 5.00 m → b ≥ ls
    Case a): b ≥ ls

    μ2 = γh/sk = 2.00 x 2.00/1.50 = 2.67 [-] μ2 = 2.00 [-] μ1 = 0,8 [-] [Case Applicable]
    →
    with the limits: μ2 ∈[0.80; 2.00] Used for calculations.

    Case b): b < ls

    µ LR =
    ( µ 2 − µ 1 ) ⋅ ( ls − b ) + µ (2.00 − 0,8) x (5.00 − 6.00)

    μLR = 0.56 [-] @ b = 6.00 m (linear interpolation).

    6.3 Snow overhanging the edge of a roof

    (1) Snow overhanging the edge of a roof should be considered.


    Note The National Annex may specify the conditions of use for this clause. It is recommended that the clause is used for sites above
    800 meters above sea level.

    (2) The design of those parts of a roof cantilevered out beyond the walls should take account of snow overhanging the edge of the
    roof, in addition to the load on that part of the roof. The loads due to the overhang may be assumed to act at the edge of the roof
    and may be calculated as follows:

    se = k∙s2/γ (snow load per metre length due to the overhang).

    Depth of the snow layer on the roof (see Figure 6.2): d= 0.90 m

    Weight density of snow: γ= 3.00 kN/m³ k = 3/d = 3/0.90 = 3.33


    k ≤ d∙γ = 3.00 x 0.90 = 2.70
    Most onerous undrifted load: s= 4.00 kN/m² k = 2.70
    (see Section 5.2).
    Coefficient to take account of the irregular k = 3.00
    shape of the snow (manual input): k= 3.00 → Assumed for calculations.
    (See manual input).

    s.e = k∙s2/γ = 3.00 x 4.00²/3.00 = 16.00 kN/m.

    d = 0.90 m

    se = 16.00 kN/m
    (per metre lenght due to the overhang).

    6.4 Snow loads on snowguards and other obstacles

    (1) Under certain conditions snow may slide down a pitched or curved roof. The coefficient of friction between the snow and the
    roof should be assumed to be zero. For this calculation the force Fs exerted by a sliding mass of snow, in the direction of slide,
    per unit length of the building should be taken as:

    Fs = s∙b∙sinα.

    Most onerous undrifted load case (see 5.2 and 5.3): s= 2.50 kN/m²
    (snow could slide).

    Width on plan (horizontal) from the guard or obstacle


    to the next guard or to the ridge: b= 4.00 m

    Pitch of the roof, measured from the horizontal: α= 30.00 ° = rad 0.5236

    Fs = s∙b∙sinα = 2.50 x 4.00 x sin(30) = 5.00 kN/m.

    b = 4.00 m

    Fs

    α = 30°

    Fs = 5.00 kN/m
    (per unit length of the building).
