Figure 5.3: Snow load shape coefficients - pitched roots (9)P Snow loads on roots shall be determined as follows:
a) for the persistent / transient design situations:
SOS 1)
where:
ut; is the snow load shape coefficient (see Section 5.3 and Annex B);
‘Sx is the characteristic value of snow load on the ground;
Sxq is the design value of exceptional snow load on the ground for a given location
(eee 4.3);
G, is the exposure coefficient;
, is the thermal coefficient.
(4) The load should be assumed to act vertically and refer to a horizontal projection of
the roof area.
(©) When artificial removal or redistribution of snow on a roof is anticipated the roof

should be designed for suitable load arrangements.
The exposure coefficient Q, should be used for determining the snow load on the
roof. The choice for C, should consider the future development around the site. Cy
should be taken as 1,0 unless otherwise specified for different topographies.
EF Recommended values of ¢, for different topographies
