Snow Load

The snow load is calculated in accordance with EN 1991-1-3 (2003): Eurocode 1: Actions on structures - Part 1-3: General actions - Snow loads [1]. Section 5.3 of [1] gives roof shape coefficients for undrifted and drifted snow load arrangements for all types of roofs identified in this standard, with the exception of the consideration of exceptional snow drifts defined in Annex B, where its use is allowed.

Accordingly, MkaPEB automatically calculates and applies these snow loads.

Mono pitch roof

Pitched roofs

Multi-span roofs

Roofs abutting to taller construction works

Roofs where drifting occurs at parapets
