EN 1991-1-3, 6.2, Eqs. (6.1), (6.2), KZ NA

Snow at the site: Site; Kazakhstan snow zone; Ground snow load sk; Site altitude above sea level; Exposure coefficient Ce; Thermal coefficient Ct; Design situation; Exceptional snow coefficient Cesl
Obstruction: h — obstruction height; Snow weight density γ

How is the ground snow load s_k obtained?

Pick a settlement — the snow zone and s_k are filled from the SP RK EN 1991-1-3 map, or enter the value manually.

Are snow drifts considered?

Yes: separate calculations for abutting taller structures, parapets and obstructions, multispan valleys, overhangs and snow guards.

What does the result include?

Characteristic loads by zone, the load arrangement and a detailed PDF, Word and Excel report.
