Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The objective of this study is to update the ground snow loads for the state of Idaho. The previous study (Taheri 1985) used the snow data up to 1983. The stations of the National Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), formerly the Soil Conservation Service (SCS), as well as the National Weather Services (NWS) Coop stations, were analyzed for the entire State of Idaho. Additional data from neighboring states were also analyzed to ensure that the snow load mapping considers stations near the borders of Idaho. The NRCS provides two types of stations: the Snow Courses and the SNOwpack TELemetry (SNOTEL) stations. Both types of stations provide continuous monitoring of the snow-water equivalent in inches of water for each location. The NWS Coop stations measure snow depth in inches. The Log Pearson Type III (LP3) is an extreme-value distribution that is used to obtain the 50-year mean recurrence interval (MRI) values; it is the same approach that was used in the Idaho 1985 study. The 50-year MRI values were selected for the ground snow loads. For the NRCS stations, the 50-year snow-water equivalent is the snow load. For the NWS Coop stations, the 50-year snow depth is converted to the ground snow load using the Rocky Mountain Conversion Density (RMCD) (Sack 1986). Subsequently, the ground snow load of each station is divided by its elevation in feet to provide the normalized ground snow load (NGSL). The NGSLs were mapped using ArcGIS to provide a statewide contour map. The NGSL was used because it was previously found to be the best method of mapping the information (Rusten 1976). This approach is also used for the States of Washington and Montana. The Inverse Distance Weighted (IDW) method within ArcGIS was found to give the most accurate results.

Book excerpt: Specialists in building and civil engineering, architecture, traffic and transport engineering, urban planning and avalanche science came together at the Fifth International Conference on Snow Engineering, organized by the Federal Swiss Institute for Snow and Avalanche Research in Davos 2004. This event belongs to a series of Snow Engineering Conferences held every four years since 1988. These conferences have become an important event for the international exchange of information on recent developments in snow engineering. The following thematic areas were discussed in the technical sessions and are here presented in this volume: - Transportation - Housing and Residential Planning - Snow Loads - Ski Mechanics - Hazard Mitigation - Snow Technology and Science - Avalanche Engineering

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The objective of the conference was to provide a forum for engineers, architects and scientists to discuss a broad range of research and design methods for various problems related to snow engineering. Specialists in building and civil engineering, environmental engineering, energy engineering, urban planning, and regional development as well as snow scientists were brought together for the conference. The technical sessions were in five thematic areas as follows: Snow technology and science; Building and construction engineering; Infrastructure and transportation; Housing and residential planning; Development strategy in snow countries. The 115 papers provide keys to realize more comfortable living conditions in snow countries and to overcome many problems in heavy snow regions.
Download or read book Architectural Glass to Resist Seismic and Extreme Climatic Events written by Richard A. Behr and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2009-09-14 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Glass is a popular cladding material for modern buildings. The trend for steel-framed, glass-clad buildings instead of those using traditional materials such as brick and concrete has inherent problems. These include, for example, the performance of architectural glass in extreme climatic events such as windstorms and heavy snow loads and also during earthquakes. This book reviews the state-of-the-art in glass and glazing technology to resist failure due to these natural events. Building code seismic requirements for architectural glass in the United States are considered first of all, followed by a chapter on glazing and curtain wall systems to resist earthquakes. The next two chapters discuss snow loads on building envelopes and glazing systems, and types and design of glazing systems to resist snow loads. Wind pressures and the impact of wind-borne debris are then considered in the next group of chapters which also review special types of glazing systems to resist windstorms. A final chapter reviews test methods for the performance of glazing systems during earthquakes and extreme climatic events. With its distinguished editor and team of contributors, Architectural glass to resist seismic and extreme climatic events is an essential resource for architects, structural, civil and architectural engineers, researchers and those involved in designing and specifying building glazing and cladding materials in areas where severe windstorms, snow and earthquakes are a threat. Considers the state of the art in glass and glazing technology to resist failure due to extreme climatic events Reviews specific building techniques and test methods to enhance glazing performance during snow storms, wind storms and earthquakes
