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

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. To this end, a two-way coupled simulation considering the interaction between snow particles and turbulent wind is first ...

Reliability-based snow load maps for building design

2015
This 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

2019
Snow 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 of Steel Truss Roof Systems Under Variable Snow Load Profiles

International Journal of Steel Structures, 2020
The probabilistic safety analysis of steel truss roof systems under variable snow load profiles is investigated. The roofs of structures such as industrial buildings or sports halls, which require wide areas, are frequently subjected to unexpectedly high loads.
