COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS OF CLIMATIC MEASUREMENTS FOR THE ASSESSMENT OF SNOW LOADS ON STRUCTURES
Preview AbstractClimatological measurements for the assessment of snow loads on structures as practiced in Slovakia are discussed in the light of methodologies described in the relevant backgrounds to Eurocodes. The database of yearly snow load maxima based on the weekly measurements of water equivalent of snow cover on 660 rain-gauge stations in Slovakia recorded during the last 52 winter seasons is analyzed. Special interest is focused on the influence of heavy snowfalls in the winters 2004/2005 and 2005/2006, particularly on the extreme cases observed.
