EN 1991-1-2

EN 1991-1-2 is a European standard that provides guidelines for calculating the effects of ice and snow loads on structures. It helps engineers determine how much weight snow or ice will add to buildings, bridges, and other structures, ensuring they are designed to withstand these natural forces safely. The standard considers factors like climate, location, and structure type to predict potential loads accurately. Its goal is to promote safety, durability, and resilience of structures subjected to winter weather conditions across Europe.
