Abstract
The roof of the Hartford, Conn., Civic Center Arena collapsed under an unknown load of snow, ice and rain early in the morning on Jan. 18, 1978. Based on available meteorological and snow-load measurements, estimates for the amount of load present at the time of failure are made using a number of techniques. In addition, previous maximum loads due to snow, ice or rain since the building was constructed also are estimated.
