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.

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.
