SNOW LOADS ON ROOFS 1961-62 SIXTH PROGRESS REPORT

ANALYZED
Internal Report No. 260 of the
Division of BUilding Research
OTTAWA January 1963
PREFACE
Although snow depths on the ground are relatively well known and have been used widely to estimate roof design loads, the actual loads on roofs are still difficult to
predict. Many buildings have been designed for snow loads
much greater than those which actually occur while others have been under-designed and have therefore been damaged by
heavy drift loads. Roof failures due to snow loads are,
unfortunately, not uncommon.
This variability of, and uncertainty about roof loads have been the main reasons for the extensive investi-gations of snow loads, primarily for the National BUilding
Code, by the Division of Building Research. The Division
has been conducting a countrywide survey of actual roof
loads for the past six winters. Although the information
gathered is not yet sufficient to lead to conclusive reSUlts, definite trends of snow accumulations have been established and on a basis of this some changes have already been made
in the National Building Code. These changes, however, have
not yet refined the snow loads to the degree aimed for by the survey.
This report presents the observations made during the 1961-62 winter and serves as an addition to the five
previous annual reports on snow loads. The Division of
Building Research wishes to express again its appreciation to the many observers whose active participation made the survey of the 1961-62 winter possible, particularly to A-Station observers of the Meteorological Branch of the Department of Transport at Goose Bay and Gander, the Department of National Defence at Fort Churchill, the
Department of Public Works at Revelstoke, Ecole Polytechnique (Montreal), Macdonald College (Ste. Anne de Bellevue), Queen's University (Kingston), University of Toronto, University of Manitoba (Winnipeg), University of Alberta (Edmonton),
University of Waterloo, Aluminum Company of Canada at
Arvida, the Federal Day School at Inuvik, and the Atlantic,
Prairie and B.C. Regional Stations of the Division. Thanks
is also expressed to the bUilding inspectors and individuals who made B-Station observations, and to the RCAF personnel
at the C Stations and their colleagues in Ottawa. Without
all this Willing co-operation, this report could not have been prepared.
This report was prepared by P. A. Hebert, of the University of New Brunswick, a summer worker with the
Building Structures Section, and B. G. W. Peter, Research
Officer with the Section, under the direction of W. R. Schriever. Appendix A which deals with the statistics of the roof to
ground load ratio, was prepared jointly by D. W. Boyd, D.O.T. Meteorologist with DBR/NRC, and P. A. Hebert.

SNOW LOADS ON ROOFS 1961-62 Sixth Progress Report
by
P. A. Hebert and
B.
G. W. PeterThis progress report presents the results of the 1961-62 survey of snow loads on roofs as well as an analysis
of the observations taken during that winter. Unusual
features are analyzed and discussed, and the results are compared with the results of the previous progress reports
(2-1) in order to summarize the 5 years of the survey. Appendix A presents a statistical analysis of the observa-tions of the past 5 years of the survey.
Through the years, engineers and building code authorities in Canada as well as in other countries have
been faced with the problem of choosing an appropriate design
snow load for roofs. Extreme deviations in either direction
will result either in セセ・」・ウウ。イケ construction costs or in
collapse of numerous structures.
Some years ago the design snow load was generally
assumed to be 40 psf practically all across Canada. Although
many of the structures built at that time have withstood the test of time, some failures have occurred in roofs because
of snow loads. Although complete statistics of structural
failures do not exist, the major failures are well indicated by the many newspaper clippings received by the Division every winter.
Some of the factors which influence the magnitude and distribution of the actual roof loads are annual snowfall, the shape of the roof, wind direction and intensity, heat
loss, and daily temperatures. All these factors, acting in
a somewhat complex way, determine the maximum amount of snow which will build up on the roof during a winter and,
consequently, must be considered by the designer, if the accuracy of the load assumption is to be in keeping with the accuracy of structural analysis developed today.
The 1953 National BUilding Code of Canada (9) used the snow load on the ground as the minimum design snow load
for roofs. The snow load on the ground was the maximum
reported ground depth from 1941 to 50 plus the maximum 24-hour rainfall expected in the 2- or 3-month period when
maximum snow depths are likely to occur (8). An assumed
specific gravity of 0.2 was used to determine this. The
assumption that the load on the roof is the same as that on the ground was, however, obviously rather crude.
2
-In 1956, the Associate Committee on the National Building Code asked the Division of Building Research to
study the problem in greater detail. Accordingly, a pilot
survey (1,2) was carried out during the winter of 1956-57; the full-scale survey began in the winter of 1957-58.
Stations were chosen across Canada so that the results would represent as many climatic areas of the country as possible. Direct measurements of snow depth and density were taken on roofs chosen at these different stations.
The prime objective of the survey is to allow a more accurate prediction of snow loads on roofs from snow loads on the ground for the region where the structure is
built. It also is designed to accumulate information on the
different factors affecting this roof load. SURVEY PROCEDURES OF 1961-62 OBSERVATIONS
The survey procedures used this year at A, Band C Stations were similar to those used in previous years (11). In addition, a more intensive survey was carried out in
Ottawa to obtain more information on the effect of the shape of roofs in an area sUbject to the same climatic conditions. In all, reports were received on 90 roofs.
A Stations - Detailed observations of snow depth and density were recorded every week and after every
snow-fall (Figure 25). Depth observations were made of average
snow cover on the ground and at locations on the roofs
indicated by snow depth gauges
(7).
At each station atleast one flat and one gable roof were observed. A total of
45
roofs were observed at the 17 A Stations (Table I).B Stations - Observations at B Stations were taken mainly by bUilding inspectors who assist the Division in
this work on a voluntary basis. These B Stations are
intended to observe cases of unusual snow loads and failures. The observers are asked to take measurements of snow depths only when a snow load occurs that is considered to be large
for the community or causes failure. The Division heard
from 10 B Stations,
6
of which gave details of loads onroofs observed; the remaining 4 had little or no snow during the winter.
C Stations - Observations at these stations are similar to those at A Stations and were carried out by RCAF
personnel on airport bUildings across Canada. The buildings
used were: arch hangars, mechanical equipment garages,
cantilever hangars and unit supply depots, the last two
3
-buildings were all of standard size and shape. Eight C Stations
were observed in Canada reporting on 23 roofs.
Local Survey - This year, a group of houses in the
Ottawa area as well as some flat roofs on the Morrt.reaL Road
NRC buildings were added to the survey. Most of the 17 roofs
selected were observed only twice during the winter. WEATHER
In many parts of Canada the 1961-62 winter deviated considerably from the normal pattern.
The total snowfall for stations west of Toronto was generally higher than normal, except for Inuvik and Vancouver, while central Canada experienced below normal snowfall.
February brought very heavy snowfall to Newfoundland, and a considerable amount to the rest of Canada, except British Columbia.
In December, the Prairie Provinces experienced mean monthly temperatures as much as 16 deg below normal. February brought extremely cold temperatures to most of Canada.
セセjor CHARACTERISTICS OF 1961-62 OBSERVATIONS
About one half of the stations observed had a total
winter snowfall above the normal value. Three of these
(Halifax, Fort Churchill and Revelstoke) experienced high loading conditions on the roofs with maximum roof loads
(drift loads) exceeding the design value
(12).
At Revelstoke,however, the average roof load exceeded the design load. The results of the observations of the winter of 1961-62 confirmed the major conclusions of previous seasons
of the survey in that they showed qualitatively that snow loads are greatly affected by the shape and size of the surroundings as well as by the orientation of the roofs on
which they accumulate. This is particularly well shown by
the observations made at Fort Churchill, Halifax, Gander, Ottawa, Waterloo and Edmonton.
The observed average roof loads ranged from 0 to
80 psi. Revelstoke, in the Rocky Mourrteins, accumulated a
high average load of 80 psi because of its sheltered condition.
The maximum drift load observed was 140 psf, in Ottawa,
measured on a lean-to roo:C adjacent to a Large curved
4
-PRESENTATION OF RESULTS
The results of observations for the winter of 1961-62 are presented in a form similar to those of the
preceding years in order to assure uniformity for future
reference and analysis.
Tables I to IV present relevant information on the A, Band C Stations and the local survey, respectively.
These are supplemented by two maps of Canada (Figures 1 and 2) on which the maximum roof and ground loads of all stations
of A, Band C type are shown as bar graphs. Table V is
provided to compare the roof load/ground load ratio for flat
roofs. Some variations of snow loads as a result of roof
shapes in Ottawa and Halifax are also included Hfゥァオイセウ 26
to
34).
Observations at each station will be discussed.A and C Stations contain greater details of
observation and are analyzed accordingly. Figures
3
to 24describe each roof of the A and C type giving their shape,
size, thermal conditions and surroundings. Graphs are
plotted showing the maximum daily wind speed (mph), daily mean temperatures (OF), and the accumulated snowfall (in.)
thrOUghout the winter. The loading pattern on each roof for
the whole winter is displayed by a graph showing the ground load near the building observed as well as the maximum, average and minimum loads on the roof itself.
RESULTS OF 1961-62 OBSERVATIONS
Although several stations had a rather heavy winter snowfall, only Revelstoke had an average roof load exceeding the 1960 National Building Code minimum design snow load for
roofs. Maximum roof loads (concentration caused by drifts)
exceeding the Code values were observed at Revelstoke, Fort Churchill and Halifax.
All roofs, except one at Fort Churchill, had
average loads less than the ground load. Eight stations,
however, had maximum roof loads exceeding the ground load: Revelstoke, Toronto, Kingston, Ottawa, Waterloo, Ste. Anne de Bellevue, Halifax and Fort Churchill, the last-mentioned
exceeding it by 150 per cent. These relatively high maxima
seem to be caused by factors that differed with stations,
some of which are: low wind speeds during the Winter, well
sheltered roofs, high parapets and extending wall (penthouse,
or high building near the roof observed). These high loads
are further discussed below.
Montreal, Goose Bay, Inuvik and Gander had ground
5
-in each case the average roof load did not exceed 12 psf. These low roof loads may be caused by relatively high winds during the winter, roofs with little shelter in the very near surroundings and no parapet along the flat roofs.
The following is a more detailed discussion of the results of each individual station with regard to any unusual loading pattern or other characteristics observed during the last winter.
A Stations
Vancouver - Snow loads at Vancouver have always been
very low because of the moderate climate. Again this year
snow loads on roofs were negligible. The gauges were removed
from the roof because very little snow remained after a
snow-ヲ。ャャセ Nevertheless, observations will be continued whenever any measurable loading occurs.
Revelstoke - This station in the mountains of eastern British Columbia at an elevation of 1800 ft with an annual
precipitation of 143 in. produced high roof loads. The maximum
roof load was 92 psf on a sheltered flat roof; this exceeded
the design roof load by 22 psf. The maximum average load on
each roof was slightly less than the ground load but the loads
exceeded the NBC roof load value. It is surprising that such
high loads occurred as the winter's snowfall was 160 in.,
only 20 in. above normal. The ground snow depth was Les s than
that on which the NBC load is based, but high densities
occurred during the winter. The similarity of roof and
ground loads here as at Glacier, indicate the extremely calm conditions which can be found in some mountainous regions. The unusual feature of an average roof load exceeding the ground load, which was observed on the Bark shelter in the
winter of 1960-61, did not occur again. Another feature
worth mentioning is that despite the 1000-ft difference in elevation between the Bark and the town the loads were rather similar.
These high values are the highest roof loads
observed in the DBR survey since the winter of 1958-59 when the A Station at Glacier reported a maximum average roof load of 160 psf.
Edmonton - The 1961-62 snowfall in Edmonton
exceeded the 51-in. normal value by 38 per cent. In spite
of this, the average as well as the maximum roof load remained well below the ground load at all times, mainly because of the prevailing high winds.
Fort Churchill - This station experienced an exceptionally "good" winter; the total snowfall exceeding
6
-the normal value by 80 per cent. This had a considerable
effect on the roof loads that developed. The roof of the
corridor J-54 had to be shovelled free from snow to avoid possible damage when the load reached about 50 psf.
Fortunately (for the survey) J-165, a corridor roof of the same type and orientation was not cleared until a month
later and the maximum load reached a peak of 90 psf (250 per cent ground load) with an average of 42 psf, the second
highest load observed in the DBR survey in this winter. The Fort Churchill observations showed again that roof orientation is an important factor, as indicated by the heavy loading on J-54 and J-165, compared to the smaller loads (average 18 psf, maximum 31 psf) on corridor E-31 which is the same shape and size as the other 2 corridors but is turned 90 deg.
The canopy on bUilding F-2 also accumulated high
loads up to 50 psf or 15 ,psf over ground load. The rest of
this roof was blown clear of snow throughout the whole winter.
From 5 November to 1 May the mean daily temperature remained below 30°F, a condition favourable for the
accumula-tion of snow. The ground snow depth valttes (no density) for
this ウエ。エゥッセ are taken from the local meteorological station
records.
Waterloo - Observations at this new station showed
very common loading patterns. The maximum roof load on the
two exposed roofs did not reach the ground load. Bart of
the roof of the Engineering Building, however, which is sheltered on the south side, had loads slightly higher than the ground load.
kゥョセウエッョ - Snowfall was near normal in Kingston.
At no time di the maximum roof load exceed the NBC minimum
design roof load.
As in previous years, the flat roof showed higher loading than the gable roof, with maximum loads occurring at
gauges No.1 and No.7, i.e. at the two south corners of
the building. This is mainly beoause No. 1 and No. 7 gauges
are the closest to the 2.5-ft parapet along the bUilding. Ottawa - Ottawa's snowfall was considerably below
normal. The loading patterns were similar to those of the
3 preceding years, even though the winter snowfall for the past 4 years has varied from 58 to 110 in.
For the past 3 winters the winds appear to have come mainly from either the 'east or the west.
7
-,
The winter of 1958-59, however, did not follow this rule; the maximum roof loads on the Davidson Orescent roof were very near ground loads all winter.
The sheltered flat roof on Fairhavenway again accumulated relatively high maximum snow loads, exceeding
the ground load. This was also the case for the DBR bUilding
which has a 2-ft parapet along the edges.
The Mark III experimental house, at 40A Barker?
was added to this year's observations. Snow loads on this
low sloped roof were quite small; this can be attributed to the exposure of this roof to winds from the east which
accompanied the snowfalls.
Ste. Anne de Bellevue - At this station the ground
load did not exceed
35
psf even though the total snowfall was30 in. greater than last year or 110 in.
The average roof load reached only 8 psf throughout the winter and the maximum roof load exceeded the ground load
by only 2 psf. This may have been caused by heat loss even
though the building is insulated.
Montreal - Although the snowfall was 13 per cent above normal, the roof loads observed at this station were rather low because of the action of wind and frequent thaws. In the past reports the normal snowfall for Montreal was
quoted as 89 in. After further investigation it was found
to be 97 which is used in this report.
Arvida - Observations at this station were made
from 11 December to 5 March. During this period the snowfall
was 49 in.; the highest load recorded on the ground was
13 psf and the maximum roof load was 11 psf. The large
industrial flat roof observed has never had any critical
loads.
Halifax - Again this year the flat roofs of the
NRO building and the Nova Scotia Technical Oollege experienced high maximum loads, undoubtedly caused by winds around the
penthouses on these two bUildings. Because of the proximity
of the Atlantic coast the winds were generally higher here
than at other stations. Temperatures during the winter
frequently reached the 30's causing most of the snow to melt after snowfalls, except for the last part of February when temperatures remained below 30 degj as a result the peak loads of the winter were formed after considerable snowfall during the month.
Gander - Roof loads at this station were very small,
8
-load came to a high of 75 psf during the last part of the
winter. Since during this period the observed snow depth
was only 27 in., the density was exceptionally high (over
0.5 gm/cc). セャゥウ can be explained by the fact that in the
latter part of March when mean temperatures were in the 30's, the top snow melted and increased the density of the lower
layer. The maximum density recorded was 0.63 gm/cc.
Other Stations - The A Stations not mentioned above (Inuvik, Saskatoon, Winnipeg, Toronto, Goose Bay) had no unusual characteristics (Table I, Fieures 3, 6a, 6b, 7, 10 and 17).
B Stations
Although not many B Stations reported to the Division, those that did helped support the results of the A Stations
with specific case histories. Average snow loads on the roofs
were usually less than the ground loads. Accumulations of
snow occurred, as expected, on leeward slopes, on lean-tots such as carports or porches, on the lower part of split-level roofs and on canopies.
C Stations
All C Stations had average roof loads less than the ground loads with the maximum load concentrated near walls
and other obstructions on the roofs. High load concentration
occurred at some locations, such as on the Mechanical
Equipment Garage at North Bay where a load of 118 psf, i.e.
125 per cent above the ground load, was observed. High loads
also occurred on some of the lean-to roofs of the cantilever hangars, especially at Lancaster where the load was 105 psf. Other C-Station roofs had no unusual snow loads.
Local Survey
Twelve houses in Cardinal Heights, a typical sub-division of average-size one-storey bungalows on the eastern
outskirts of Ottawa, were observed on two occasions. All
the roofs, with one exception, were either hip or gable roofs. The generally flat topography and the lack of trees in the area provide conditions such that the houses would be called "exposed."
Most of the roofs accumulated loads that were
about equal to the ground load. These were usually confined
to small areas on the leeward slopes or near chimneys and would therefore not have been too serious because of "load
sharing." The average roof loads ranged from nearly 0 to
9
-roofs under "exposed" conditions, the design load might be reduced below the present NBC value of 80 per cent of the ground load.
Also included in this local survey were a number of flat roofs of multi-storey office buildings located on
the NRC property on Montreal Road. Average loads on the flat
roofs were slightly less than the ground loads.
The snow depths observed on the arch proper of the
Hull Arena were very small. On the flat canopies below the
arch, however, average loads of 70 psf occurred as a result
of snow melting on the arch. The maximum observed was 140 psf.
GENERAL DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS
This survey of snow loads on roofs which has been carried on for 6 years, has already provided considerable information on snow loads and should provide even further information in a few more years when the observations for
all the years are analyzed together. To date the survey has
provided the following information:
1. Snow loads vary considerably from roof to roof in the
same area and also from year to year on the same roof because of changes in total snowfall or even because of changes in wind conditions alone.
2. The type of snow accumulation varies with geographical
location, (e.g. severe drifting at Fort Churchill, uniform loads at Revelstoke).
3.
Although the average roof loads are considerably belowthe ground loads, the maximum roof loads (i.e. drifts) significantly exceed the ground loads.
4.
In sheltered locations the roof slope has littleinfluence on the snow load.
5.
Concentrated loads occur most frequently near verticalprojections from the roof.
6. Wind is the major factor affecting snow loads.
In view of these findings some changes have been made by the Associate Committee on the National Building
Code in the 1960 Code (10) and the Housing Standards. The
basic roof load has been first reduced to 80 per cent of the
10
-the roof, this basic load has been increased by 50 per cent for a strip which is 3 times as wide as the projection is
high but not exceeding 15 ft. For sloped roofs, reductions
have been allowed for slopes over 30 deg (previously it had
been 20 deg). For curved or peaked roofs an unbalanced load
25 per cent greater than the specified uniform design load
is required on one side and no load on the other. Finally
roofs onto which snow is likely to slide from another roof are required to be designed for the full weight of snow from the contributing slide area in addition to the regular snow
load. Further refinements will undoubtedly be made but this
cannot be done on the basis of the present results.
Snow loads perhaps even more than other loads,
are "probable loads. h There are, unfortunately, so many
variables and factors affecting the magnitude and distri-bution of snow loads that to take all of them into account and yet arrive at a design load that is not too conservative
is a difficult problem indeed. To avoid all danger of
over-loading by making extremely conservative assumptions about
wind and shape effects, would mean penalizing
999
out of1000 roofs to save the one. The problem in essence is to
choose an acceptable probability of overloading which, in
turn, will determine the probability of failure. For example,
a residence in an extremely sheltered location might accumulate
an average roof load equal to the ground load. But the
majority of houses are not located in such areas and do not
accumulate such heavy loads. It would therefore seem .
unreasonable to require all residences to be designed for an average load equal to the full maximum ground load.· A rational design load for residences can only be arrived at by observing a great number of residences under various sheltered conditions; a probable design load could then be selected from this
statistical sample, with due regard to the safety factor provided for all contingencies besides overloading, i.e. variability of material, workmanship and deterioration.
At present A and C Stations are providing only
two or three roofs in each area. Considerable additional
information for even an approximate statistical analysis is
required. Such information can be obtained by observations
of many roofs, irrespective of their roof load, at a time
when the ground depth is near maximum for the winter. These
local surveys must be done on residential, office- and
industrial-size roofs as well as on specific cases, such as unbalanced loads on sloped roofs.
