    Eurocode 1 EN 1991-1-3: Section 1

    Uploaded by

    selina
    EN 1991-1-3 provides guidance for determining snow load values to be used in structural design of buildings and civil engineering works. It applies to sites below 1500m altitude unless otherwise specified. Annexes A-E provide additional information on design situations, load arrangements, snow drift shape coefficients, characteristic ground snow loads, and adjusting loads based on return period. Snow loads are generally classified as variable actions but exceptional snow loads over 1500m may be treated as accidental depending on location.

    Section 1 Eurocode 1

    EN 1991-1-3

    1.1 General

    E N 1991-1-3 gives guidance to determine the values of loads due to snow to be


    used for the structural design of buildings and civil engineering works. This
    Part does not apply for sites at altitudes above 1500 m, unless otherwise
    specified. Advice for the treatment of snow loads for altitudes above 1500 m may
    be found in the National Annex.
    Annex A gives information on design situations and load arrangements to be
    used for different locations. Annex B gives shape coefficients to be used for the
    treatment of exceptional snow drifts. Annex C gives characteristic values of snow
    load on the ground based on the results of work carried out under a contract
    specific to this Eurocode, to DGIII/D3 of the European Commission. Annex D
    gives guidance for adjusting the ground snow loads according to the return
    period. Annex E gives information on the bulk weight density of snow.

    The statements and assumptions given in EN 1990:2002, 1.3 apply to EN


    1991-1-3. The rules given in EN 1990:2002, 1.4 apply to EN 1991-1-3.

    In some circumstances tests and proven and/or properly validated numerical


    methods may be used to obtain snow loads on the construction works. The
    circumstances are those agreed for an individual project, with the client and the
    relevant Authority.

    1.2 Classification of actions

    Snow loads shall be classified as variable, fixed actions (see also Section 5.2, EN
    1991-1-3), unless otherwise specified in this standard, see EN 1990:2002, 4.1.1
    (1)P and 4.1.1 (4).
    Snow loads covered in this standard should be classified as static actions, see
    EN 1990:2002, 4.1.1 (4). In accordance with EN 1990:2002, 4.1.1 (2), for the
    particular condition defined in 1.6.3, exceptional snow loads may be treated as
    accidental actions depending on geographical locations. In accordance with EN
    1990:2002, 4.1.1 (2), for the particular condition defined in 1.6.10, loads due to
