| Summary |
RecentlyEmany large-scale membrane structures have been constructed in cold regions. When such large structures are constructedEthe impact load from lumps of snow and ice that fall from the roof and strike the structure below are major problems in designEin addition to the weight of the snowfall that piles up on the roof. In this studyEthe authors quantified impact loads through experimentation with the objective of establishing a method for evaluating the impact load from lumps of snow and ice as a design snow loadEin order to propose a technique for evaluating the impact load of lumps of snow and ice. As a resultEit is proved that lumps of snow and ice have unique impact characteristics.
