| Summary |
Recently�E�many large-scale membrane structures have been constructed in cold regions. When such large structures are constructed�E�the impact load from lumps of snow and ice that fall from the roof and strike the structure below are major problems in design�E�in addition to the weight of the snowfall that piles up on the roof. In this study�E�the authors quantified impact loads through experimentation with the objective of establishing a method for evaluating the impact load from lumps of snow and ice as a design snow load�E�in order to propose a technique for evaluating the impact load of lumps of snow and ice. As a result�E�it is proved that lumps of snow and ice have unique impact characteristics.
