Eurocode 1 - Actions on structures - Part 1-3: Snow loads
1.1 Scope of EN 1991-1-3
(1) EN 1991-1-3 gives principles and rules to determine the values of loads due to snow to be used for the structural design of buildings and civil engineering works.
(2) This document does not apply to sites at altitudes above 1 500 m, unless otherwise specified.
NOTE For rules for the treatment of snow loads for altitudes above 1 500 m, see 6.1.
(3) This document does not give guidance on specialist aspects of snow loading, for example:
- impact snow loads resulting from snow sliding off or falling from a higher roof;
- changes in shape or size of the construction works due to the presence of snow or the accretion of ice which could affect the wind action;
- loads in areas where snow is present all year round;
- lateral loading due to snow creep (e.g. lateral loads exerted by drifts);
- loads due to artificial snow.
1.2 Assumptions
The assumptions given in EN 1990:2023, 1.2 apply.
Eurocode 1 - Einwirkungen auf Tragwerke - Teil 1-3: Schneelasten
1.1 Anwendungsbereich von EN 1991-1-3
(1) EN 1991-1-3 enthält Grundsätze und Regeln für die Bestimmung der Werte für Schneelasten, die zur Tragwerksbemessung und berechnung von Hoch- und Ingenieurbauten zu verwenden sind.
(2) Dieses Dokument gilt nicht für Bauten in einer Höhenlage über 1 500 m, sofern keine anderweitigen Festlegungen getroffen wurden.
ANMERKUNG Regeln für die Berücksichtigung von Schneelasten in Höhenlagen über 1 500 m sind in 6.1 enthalten.
(3) Dieses Dokument macht keine Angaben über die fachlichen Aspekte von Schneelasten infolge, z. B.:
- anprallender Schneelast aufgrund des Abrutschens oder Herunterfallens von Schneemassen von höheren Dächern;
- Änderungen der Umrissform oder Größe von Bauwerken aufgrund von Schnee- oder Eisablagerungen, welche die Windeinwirkungen beeinflussen könnten;
- Lasten in Gebieten, in denen das ganze Jahr über Schnee vorhanden ist;
- seitliche Lasten aufgrund des Verformungsverhaltens von Schnee (z. B. durch Verwehungen hervorgerufene seitliche Lasten);
- Lasten infolge Kunstschnee.
1.2 Annahmen
Es gelten die Annahmen nach EN 1990:2023, 1.2.
Eurocode 1 - Actions sur les structures - Partie 1-3 : Charges de neige
1.1 Domaine d'application de l'EN 1991-1-3
(1) L'EN 1991-1-3 donne les principes et les règles pour déterminer les valeurs des charges dues à la neige à considérer pour le calcul structural des bâtiments et ouvrages de génie civil.
(2) Le présent document ne s’applique pas aux sites d’une altitude supérieure à 1 500 m, sauf s’il est spécifié autrement.
NOTE Pour les règles de traitement des charges de neige à des altitudes supérieures à 1 500 m, voir 6.1.
(3) Le présent document ne donne pas de recommandations relatives à des aspects particuliers du chargement de neige, par exemple :
- les chocs dus aux charges de neige glissant ou tombant d’une toiture plus élevée ;
- les modifications de la forme ou de la dimension des ouvrages dues à la présence de neige ou de la formation de glace susceptible d'affecter l'action du vent ;
- les charges de neige dans les zones où la neige est présente toute l’année ;
- les charges latérales dues au fluage de la neige (par exemple, charges latérales des congères) ;
- les charges dues à la neige artificielle.
1.2 Hypothèses
Les hypothèses formulées dans l’EN 1990:2023, 1.2 s'appliquent.

European foreword
This document (prEN 1991-1-3:2023) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 250
“Structural Eurocodes”, the secretariat of which is held by BSI.
CEN/TC 250 is responsible for all Structural Eurocodes and has been assigned responsibility for
structural and geotechnical design matters by CEN.
This document is currently submitted to the CEN Enquiry.
This document will supersede EN 1991-1-3:2003.
The first generation of EN Eurocodes was published between 2002 and 2007. This document forms part
of the second generation of the Eurocodes, which have been prepared under Mandate M/515 issued to
CEN by the European Commission and the European Free Trade Association.
The Eurocodes have been drafted to be used in conjunction with relevant execution, material, product
and test standards, and to identify requirements for execution, materials, products and testing that are
relied upon by the Eurocodes.
The Eurocodes recognize the responsibility of each Member State and have safeguarded their right to
determine values related to regulatory safety matters at national level through the use of National
Annexes.

Introduction
0.1 Introduction to the Eurocodes
The structural Eurocodes comprise the following standards generally consisting of a number of Parts:
— EN 1990, Eurocode: Basis of structural and geotechnical design
— EN 1991, Eurocode 1: Actions on structures
— EN 1992, Eurocode 2: Design of concrete structures
— EN 1993, Eurocode 3: Design of steel structures
— EN 1994, Eurocode 4: Design of composite steel and concrete structure
— EN 1995, Eurocode 5: Design of timber structures
— EN 1996, Eurocode 6: Design of masonry structures
— EN 1997, Eurocode 7: Geotechnical design
— EN 1998, Eurocode 8: Design of structures for earthquake resistance
— EN 1999, Eurocode 9: Design of aluminium structures
— New parts are under development, e.g. Eurocode for design of structural glass
The Eurocodes are intended for use by designers, clients, manufacturers, constructors, relevant
authorities (in exercising their duties in accordance with national or international regulations),
educators, software developers, and committees drafting standards for related product, testing and
execution standards.
NOTE Some aspects of design are most appropriately specified by relevant authorities or, where not specified,
can be agreed on a project-specific basis between relevant parties such as designers and clients. The Eurocodes
identify such aspects making explicit reference to relevant authorities and relevant parties.
0.2 Introduction to EN 1991
(1) EN 1991 provides the actions to be considered for the structural design of buildings, bridges and
other civil engineering works, or parts thereof, including temporary structures, in conjunction with
EN 1990 and the other Eurocodes.
(2) The actions on structures, including in some cases geotechnical structures in conjunction with
EN 1997 as appropriate, provided in EN 1991 are intended to be applied in conjunction with the other
Eurocodes for the verification of safety, serviceability and durability, as well as ro
