Figure 2.25 Snowdrift load onto the main roof due to the adjacent existing structure: the adjacent building
is h = 60 meters high.
(Worked example taken from: www.thestructuralengineer.org).
[Reference sheet: Annex B]‐[Cell‐Range: A251:O251‐A322:O322].
Note that this load is a variable static action and therefore would have a partial factor of
1 5 Q k if it were being considered in isolation to other loads.
Finally, we consider the snowdrift load onto the main roof due to the adjacent existing
structure, which is significantly taller than the sports hall. See Figure 2.24 on page 31 (case
f) and figure above.
Drift length: l s = min b 1 ; 5h ; 15 m = min 17 50 ; 5 60 ; 15 m = 15 00 m .
Shape coefficients given in figure B4:
2h 2 max b 1 ; b 2 120 2 35 00
1 = min ------ ; ----------------------------------------------
- ; 8 = min ------------ ; ---------------------- ; 8 = min 200 ; 4 67 ; 8 ,
s k min b 1 ; 5h ; 15 m 0 60 15 00
1 = 4 67 - .
Therefore, the snow drift load is calculated as follow:
