CHAPTER 7 "CARGOES" 60 The "Wind and Snow Loads" command group contains the tools for the automatic calculation of wind and snow loads, and their distribution to members, based on various regulations including Eurocode 1 (including the Greek Appendix) and the Saudi Arabian regulation (SBC 301) It also includes the appendices of Eurocode 1 of Italy, Germany, Poland and the Italian regulation NTC18. This is an excellent tool that includes: • Automatic calculation of the characteristic values of the snow load on the ground and roofs based on the above regulations and for all types of roofs: flat, single, double, double, four- roofed, vaulted, with roof adjacent to a taller building, drifting on overhangs and obstacles. • Automatic calculation of roof shape coefficients. • 2D and 3D visualization of snow load distribution. • Automatic calculation of the basic wind speed. • Automatic calculation of average wind speed VM (z) at height z (according to ground roughness and topography) • Categories and soil parameters • Wind turbulence • Maximum speed • Distribution of wind pressure on surfaces • Wind forces • Pressure coefficients for buildings (vertical walls or roofs) The procedure for calculating the wind and snow loads and their distribution to the members is included in the 5 team orders: 1. Parameters : Regulation Selection, General Wind-Snow Parameters 2. Treatment : wall-roofing 3. Appearance : wind-snow 4. Membership Match 5. Results 4. Wind and Snow loads
