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.

Reliable jump detection for snow sports with low-cost MEMS inertial sensors
Sports Technology, 2011Body-mounted devices, incorporating low-cost micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) Inertial Measurement Units (IMUs), for real-time sports performance feedback are commercially available. In sports such as skiing, snowboarding, and mountain biking, aerial jumps can be detected with these devices and performance variables including air time and jump ...

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.

Observations are inevitably contaminated with measurement uncertainty, which is a predominant source of uncertainty in some cases. In present practice probabilistic models are typically fitted to measurements without proper consideration of this uncertainty.

Results from an investigation of snow loads and wind actions on 20 existing buildings in Norway are presented. The objective has been to investigate to what extent existing buildings meet current regulatory requirements relating to safety against collapse owing to snow loads or wind actions.

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 ...

Abstract Performance-based engineering is a new paradigm in structural design for natural hazards. In this paper, the authors explore the problem of estimating regional variations in fractiles of snow load used for design purposes from a limited number of discrete observing stations. The reliability implications of such estimates are examined for the
