Swiss snow and wind load map acc. to Eurocode?

[drile007]

Hello,

Can anybody help me to find them?

Thank you in advance

Has done some projects for Europe based on EuroCode, attached is the snow map in Alpine Region (Swiss is included in it).

Again attached is the Altitude-Snow Load Relationships Table. you need to know the exact location, and altitude in Swiss to get the ground snow load.

As for wind load, my understanding is you need to get the wind map annex from individual country, i.e. from Swiss, I don't think EuroCode has wind speed map.

Good luck.

Hope you get to do some site visits, Switzerland is awesome!

I know here in the US that in some mountain areas local jurisdictions often determine their own snow loads since it is so regional....

Does Switzerland definately follow the eurocodes?

As they are not actually part of the EU then this is a worthwhile question to ask.
