Structural design actions - Part 3: Snow and ice actions

This document has been re-assessed by the committee, and judged to still be up to date.

Provides design values of snow and ice actions for use in structural design. It is intended to be used in conjunction with AS/NZS 1170.0,which gives the procedure for structural design. Snow regions are defined and ground snow loads are provided for a range of annual probabilities of exceedance. Other factors cover the environment around the structure, the geometry of the structure and the effect of winds on snow distribution.
