Snow Drift Loads

该项目将研究雪漂移负荷 多层屋顶，建立在 以前的工作，目标是 扩大现有的知识基础。 这 将通过考虑 环境因素，即风和 可漂移的雪，用于量化 这个危险。 现有和测量的风和 雪的信息将用于此 量化 这项工作的第二个任务 涉及到对 漂移形成的力学。 的结果 该项目将用于结构 屋顶的设计不会倒塌， 这些极端的积雪

The project will study snow drift loads on multilevel roofs, building on the results of previous work, and with the objective of broadening the existing knowledge base. This will be accomplished by taking into account environmental factors, namely wind and driftable snow, for the quantification of this hazard. Existing and measured wind and snow information will be used for this quantification. A second task of this work involves a field investigation of the mechanics of drift formation. The results of the project will be used in the structural design of roofs that will not collapse under these extreme snow loads.
