Experimental Investigation of Snow Accumulations on Two-Span Single-Pitched Roofs Based on a New Similarity Criterion

Experimental Investigation of Snow Accumulations on Two-Span Single-Pitched Roofs Based on a New Similarity Criterion

Uneven snow distribution plays a main role in the collapse of two-span single-pitched roofs because of the intensified snow accumulation in the valleys and eaves. The roof pitches, wind velocities, and wind directions are the main reasons that cause unbalanced snowdrifts as they drastically affect t...
