Reliability of steel roof structures under snow loads

Structural Safety, 2015
Abstract The collapse of roof structures under extreme snow loads can harm building occupants, leave building owners burdened by costs of repairs, and lead to loss of income, equipment or merchandise. This study investigates the reliability of two types of steel roofs: those supported by open web steel joists, and those supported by wide-flange steel

Effect of Statistical Uncertainties in Ground Snow Load on Structural Reliability

IABSE Reports, 2015
<p>This paper studies the effect of commonly neglected statistical uncertainties on structural reliability. The failure probability of a generic structural member, subjected to snow load is analysed using frequentist and Bayesian techniques to quantify parameter estimation and model selection uncertainties in ground snow load. Various variable to

Failures of Roofs under Snow Load: Causes and Reliability Analysis

Forensic Engineering 2009, 2009
Collapses of a number of roofs in Europe during the winter 2005/2006 initiated discussions concerning reliability of the roofs exposed to snow loads. Presented overview of extensive investigations of structural failures is focused on causes and consequences of failures.

Is the extreme snow depth record for nordland, norway reliable?

Geografiska Annaler: Series A, Physical Geography, 2016
A snow depth of 370 cm at Dunderlandsdalen in winter 1919–20 is the largest recorded at stations in Nordland, Norway. During the period 1895–1924, the average maximum annual value there was 150.4 cm; at other stations it ranged from 38.5 to 190.1 cm. The ratio of maxima at other stations to that at Dunderlandsdalen was particularly low in 1919–20.
