| Abstract: |
The aim of the present study is to set up a general procedure to predict future trends in snow loading on structures, taking into account the impacts of climate change according different emissions’ scenarios, modelled at a global scale. The procedure is validated against high quality data series collected for at least 50 years at weather stations in Italy, well representative of the Mediterranean climatic features. In a second phase of the study, the procedure will be extended to all European climatic regions in view of the next revision of Eurocodes. |
