Abstract
This paper, presented at CRRELs First International Conference on Snow Engineering, deals with snow loads codes of pracitce in East European countries of the Council for Mutual Economic Aid CMEA/ Early assumptions for standardization of snow loads in this region are shortly presented as a historical background. Unification of snow load values in some CMEA countries after the second World War is also shown. Present state of snow load standards is disucssed with special attention paid to the limit state design philosophy used in codes, methods of establishing ground snow load characteristics and design calures as a reference values as well as shape factors and other factors in standards of USSA, Poland, Czechoslovakia, German Democratic Republic, Hungary, Rumania and Bulgaria The consequences of the adaptation of ISO standard for snow loads are also discussed.
