Calculation basis
sk = μr·s0.
Important engineering note: Snow distribution, drift/accumulation, roof geometry and current mandatory general-code provisions can change the governing value. Verify inputs to GB 50009-2012 and GB 55001-2021.

Frequently asked questions
Is this a complete code design?
No. It is a transparent preliminary calculation. Code-specific limits, detailing, stability and project conditions must be verified independently.
Can I use the result for construction?
Use the result as a screening or checking aid only. Final design and construction documents should be verified by a qualified professional where required.
Why are some resistance factors entered by the user?
Many design standards contain member-, material-, product- or project-specific values. Metric Republic keeps these visible and user-controlled instead of hiding assumptions.
