For altitudes greater than 1 500 m specialist advice should be sought from the Meteorological Office on the snow loads likely to occur at the site.NA
13、.2.2 Design situations and load arrangements to be used for different locations BS EN 1991-1-3:2003, 1.1 (3)The scope of BS EN 1991-1-3 states that information on design situations and load arrangements to be used for different locations is given in BS EN 1991-1-3:2003, Annex A.The design situations
14、 summarized as case B2 in BS EN 1991-1-3:2003, Table A.1 should be the only exceptional condition to be checked for determining imposed roof snow loads in the UK.NA.2.3 Snow load shape coefficients for exceptional snow drifts BS EN 1991-1-3:2003, 1.1 (4)The scope of BS EN 1991-1-3 states that inform
15、ation on snow load shape coefficients for exceptional snow drifts is given in BS EN 1991-1-3:2003, Annex B.BS EN 1991-1-3:2003, Annex B should be used in the UK in order to determine exceptional snow drift loads.NA.2.4 Exceptional snow load on the ground BS EN 1991-1-3:2003, 2 (3)Exceptional snow lo

18、cations with exceptional snow load on the ground and with load due to exceptional snow drift BS EN 1991-1-3:2003, 3.3 (3)BS EN 1991-1-3:2003, Annex B should be used in place of BS EN 1991-1-3:2003, 6.2 in order to determine the load case due to drifting in the UK.NA.2.8 Characteristic value of snow
19、load on the ground BS EN 1991-1-3:2003, 4.1 (1)The characteristic ground snow loads skto be used in the UK should be obtained from the map shown in Figure NA.1 and Equation (NA.1).sk015, 01Z,( 005,)A 100+525-+ += (NA.1)wheresk is the characteristic ground snow load (kN/m2);Z is the zone number obtai
20、ned from the map in Figure NA.1;A is the site altitude (m).Unusual local effects may not have been accounted for in the analysis undertaken to produce the ground snow load map given in Figure NA.1. These include local shelter from the wind, which can result in increased local snow loads and local co
21、nfigurations in mountainous areas, which may funnel the snow and give increased local loading. If the designer suspects that there are unusual local conditions that need to be taken into account, then for coastal sites below 100 m the map value should be used without the altitude modification. Alter
22、natively, and in other cases, the Meteorological Office should be consulted.NA.2.9 Refined characteristic value of snow load on the ground BS EN 1991-1-3:2003, 4.1 (2)Where a more refined characteristic ground snow load value skis required, the Meteorological Office should be consulted.NA.2.10 Other
23、 representative values for snow load on the ground BS EN 1991-1-3:2003, 4.2 (1)The UK National Annex to BS EN 1990 gives values that should be used in the UK for the coefficients 0, 1and 2.NA.2.11 Treatment of exceptional snow load on the ground BS EN 1991-1-3:2003, 4.3 (1)The coefficient for except
24、ional snow loads Ceslshould take a value of 2,0 as recommended in BS EN 1991-1-3.NA.2.12 Determining load arrangements for snow loads on roofs BS EN 1991-1-3:2003, 5.2 (2)BS EN 1991-1-3:2003, Annex B should be used to determine the imposed roof loads due to drifted snow for:a) multi-span roofs in pl

26、BS EN 1991-1-3:2003, 5.2 (5)In certain cases, snow may be artificially removed from or redistributed on a roof, e.g. due to excessive heat loss through a small section of roof or manually to maintain access to a service door. This can result in more severe load imbalances occurring than those result
27、ing from BS EN 1991-1-3:2003, 5.3 and Annex B (which have been derived for natural deposition patterns). To provide for these situations, if they are likely to occur and other information is not available, a load case should be considered comprising the minimum imposed uniformly distributed load (BS
28、 EN 1991-1-3:2003, 5.3) on any portion of the roof area and zero load on the remainder of the area.NA.2.14 Load arrangements for situations arising from rainfall on snow on roofs BS EN 1991-1-3:2003, 5.2 (6)The UK National Annex to BS EN 1991-1-1 specifies minimum imposed loads on roofs with access
29、for maintenance only. These values allows for a certain build-up of water but it does not allow for the effect of drains becoming blocked due to debris or ice. Specialist advice should be sought where the consecutive melting and freezing of snow together with possible rainfall is likely to occur and

On ordinary bridges the accumulation of any material quantity of snow will effectively reduce the traffic loads, probably by amounts greater than the snow loads, but certainly to such an extent that the combined mass of snow and traffic loading will not exceed the nominal live load. On opening bridges, however, snow load can b
