Abstract
This paper, presented at CRRELs First International Conference on Snow Engineering, deals with some of the problems encountered when designing roofs for buildings in heavy snow areas. The problems that can be encountered at valleys of intersecting roofs, roof obstructions, and of snow shedding are discussed and some design solutions are presented. Recommendations are given for the design of snow stops, lateral loads due to snow shedding, and trajectories of avalanching snow.
