Reliability analysis of a large curved-roof structure considering wind and snow coupled effects
Disaster Prevention and Resilience, 2022 Ensuring the safety of large curved-roof structures subjected to blizzards in cold regions remains challenging. This paper assesses the reliability of a large curved-roof structure considering the coupled effects of wind and snow.

Enhancing Soil and Water Assessment Tool Snow Prediction Reliability with Remote-Sensing-Based Snow Water Equivalent Reconstruction Product for Upland Watersheds in a Multi-Objective Calibration Process [PDF]
Water, 2020 Precipitation occurs in two basic forms defined as liquid state and solid state. Different from rain-fed watershed, modeling snow processes is of vital importance in snow-dominated watersheds.

Reliability of Roof Structures Subjected to Snow Loads [PDF]
Proceedings of the 30th European Safety and Reliability Conference and 15th Probabilistic Safety Assessment and Management Conference, 2020 A proper evaluation of snow loads on roofs is crucial for structural design especially to guarantee an adequate reliability level of lightweight roof structures. The definition of roof snow load in structural codes is based on both the evaluation of ground snow loads and conversion factors from ground to roof load, which are function of the roof’s ...
