Novelties in analysis of snow loads on structures in Serbia

Abstract

SRPS EN 1991-1-3 clearly defines the parameters for calculating of snow loads on the roof that were missing in previous regulations. The National Annex brings the updated values of snow load on the ground. The paper indicates the locations where they differ by 60 to 113% from the previously used. Differences in treatment of the roof slope influence on the snow load are also presented. According to the new codes, snow load on roofs with a slope of up to 370 is larger, and on the steeper roofs smaller than according to the previous regulations.
