Abstract
In this paper, presented at CRRELs First International Conference on Snow Enginering, the author discusses the problems connected with the introduction of research and new findings into code specifications, and in particular into International Standards. The basis for the development of an ISO Stanbdard, especially in the field of codes of practice, is briefly discussed. A new format of the snow load distribution function is presented, in which parameters representing exposure, thermal effect, roof surface material effects, roof geometry, etc. are defined. In addition to the general format, the paper concentrates on four major topics: the effect of exposure on snow load; snow load on heated roofs; snow load on arhces; snow load on multilevel roofs. A brief discussion is given about principels for making the standard more applicable in connection with computer aided design.
