5.4.2 During the design of bent frames in workshops, in the quasi- permanent combinations of
combinations of loads, the load of cranes shall be taken no account of. However, in the
regular service limit design of crane beams, the quasi- permanent value of crane loads shall be
adopted.

6. Snow load

6.1 The characteristic value/nominal value and reference snow pressure of snow loads

6.1.1 The characteristic value/nominal value of snow load on the horizontal projection
surface of the roof shall be calculated according to the following formula:
Sk = µrS0 (6.1.1)
Where,
Sk——characteristic value/nominal value of the snow load (kN/m2);
µr——Coefficient of snow distribution over the roof
S0——reference snow pressure (kN/m2).
6.1.2 The reference snow pressure shall be adopted according to the 50-year value listed
in Appendix D.4. For structures sensitive to snow loads, the reference snow pressure
shall be elevated and decided by related codes for structural design.
6.1.3 If the reference snow pressure value of cities or construction sites is not listed in
Appendix D, the reference snow pressure value can be decided according to the maximum
snow pressure or snow depth materials, based on the definition of the reference snow pressure
and making analysis over statistics. During the analysis, the influence of sample quantity shall
be taken into consideration (please refer to Appendix D). If there is also no snow pressure or
snow depth material, the value can be decided according to the reference snow pressure in the
neighboring places or long-term materials and by means of contrastive analysis over
meteorological and terrain conditions. Also, it can be approximately decided by the natioanl
reference snow pressure distribution graph (appendix D.5.1).
6.1.4 The snow load of mountains shall be decided after the practical survey. If there is no
survey material, it can be adopted as the snow load multiplied by the coefficient 1.2 in the
local neighboring and open level surfaces.
6.1.5 The combination value coefficient of snow loads shall select 0.7, the frequent value
coefficient 0.6 and the quasi-permanent value coefficient shall be 0.5, 0.2 and 0 respectively
