Wind and Snow Loads

• Double-pitch roof
• Hip roof
• Single-pitch roof
• Flat roof with sharp-edged, bevelled, or rounded eaves or parapet

In addition:

• Snow drifts on superstructures
• Loads by down-sliding snow from abutting taller structures
• Canopies
• Wind-induced internal pressure in closed buildings
• Wind action on free-standing walls

• Wind loads
• Roof snow loads

The software calculates the site-specific basic wind velocity pressure qb and the gust velocity pressure q(z) on walls and roof surfaces with consideration of the defined geographic border conditions.

The aerodynamic coefficients and the resulting wind loads are calculated for areas = 10 m², for areas < 1 m² (uplift) and, optionally, for areas between 1 and 10 m² for upwind angles of 0°, 90°, 180° and 270°. For areas with alternating pressure and suction loads, always both values are put out.

The wind loads are calculated exclusively in accordance with the wind pressure coefficient method.

The software allows you to determine the ground snow loads and the resulting roof snow loads as well as the snow loads on the eaves at roof overhangs.
