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, 2009Collapses 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, 2016A 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.

Reliability-based snow load maps for building design
2015This paper describes the development of a new snow load map for defining ground snow loads for building (roof) design in the state of Colorado. The newly proposed Colorado maps aim to ensure that structures designed across the state achieve the target safety index of 3 defined in ASCE 7.

Reliability of Steel Hall in Zenica Loaded by Snow Load
2019Snow load is the dominant load for steel structures of hall in Zenica, Bosnia and Herzegovina. Existing structures are calculated in accordance with the JUS regulations that were valid in the former Yugoslavia. The snow load was based on the values proposed in the DIN regulations of 1936 and used until the development of new regulations according to ...

Reliability Analysis of Snow Depth Monitoring System Based on Improved FMECA
2016Aiming at the problems of low accuracy and strong subjectivity in reliability analysis based on FMECA, the fuzzy theory and VIKOR theory methods are applied in criticality analysis in FMECA technique. Firstly, fuzzy decision matrix of risk factors based on fuzzy theory is built, in which fuzziness is removed by barycenter method, and specific ...

Reliability Analysis of Slope Stability under the Condition of Extreme Ice-Snow and Frozen Disaster
Earth and Space 2010, 2010Most areas in south China suffered the rare disaster of low temperature, ice-snow and freezing weather at 2008, which caused serious impact on the society, e.g. power systems, transportation, agriculture and people's living. In this paper, the influence of ice-snow on the infrastructures, such as the slope, is studied; meanwhile the defense work under ...

Quantification of reliability of roofs subjected to snow loadsdetermined by hydrological models
Snow loads exert a significant influence on the structural integrity of buildings in the northern hemisphere, necessitating precise assessment methodologies to ensure the reliability of roofs under this environmental stressor. The determination of roof snow load is intricately linked to evaluating the weight of accumulated snow on the roof surface, a ...Thomas Thiis +3 more
