Guidance for Snow Loading on Cladding

Online Course

About the CPD Course

Heavy snow falls can result in damage to roofs and their supporting structures. Good building design in terms of resistance to snow loading starts with the correct specification of the roof cladding and its supporting structure. This online resource distinguishes between types of snow load, the factors affecting snow loading and snow loading calculations. By following the recommended calculation procedures, building designers can ensure that the roofs of their buildings do not collapse. All construction professionals need to be aware of the basic principles of snow loading to ensure that they play their part in specifying and delivering safe buildings.
