Abstract
This paper presented at the CRREL's First International Conference on Snow Engineering deals with three snow load case histories from one winter with heavy snow falls in Warsaw. Detailed measurements of snow depth, density, and load were made on the nearly flat 140 x 84.5 m roof in the City center. Three profiles of snow depth and load were taken from the large saw-toolth roof influenced by adjacent buildings. Snow load profiel on the single two pitch canopy roof is also presented. Snow depth, density and load on roofs are compared with the same variables measured on the ground at a sheltered area.
