Week 10 Challenge

GIVEN

L = 10 m

`beta` <30

d= 1.250m

settled snow

`gamma` = `3 (kN)/(m^3)`

DESIGN SNOW LOAD

1. Snow load So = `gamma` x d x L = `3 (kN)/(m^3)`x 1.250m x 10m = `37.5 (kN)/m`

2. shape co-eff = `beta` <30 = `mu` = 0.8

3. Design load = `mu` x So = 0.8 x 37.5 = 30kN/m

MIN SNOW LOAD AS PER IRC

= 9`(kN)/(m^3)` x 1.250m

= 11.25 `(kN)/(m^2)`
