Taylor of the National Research Council of Canada in the 1970s and 1980s, Dr. Taylor has investigated snow accumulations, heavy snow loads and snow sliding off of roofs. In the research done to date no one has addressed the effect of building vibrations in lowering the snow retention on roofs. This is a common condition in Sprung Structures. It has been observed that in light winds, or even when people close doors in a Sprung Structure snow will slide off the roof. The next section will deal with the main document used by municipalities for building codes in the United States. 2. Code S ow_Loads The model document used in the United States for loads is "Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and Other Structures" (ASCE-7). Listed below is the snow provisions from the ASCE-7 pertaining to a Sprung Structure. It should be noted that metal roofs as well as glass roofs fall under the category of slippery roofs. Research has indicated that glass roofs retain less snow than metal roofs. This research can be used for design of Sprung Structures. This is discussed in the next section.

P.Eng. M.E.I.C. M.C.S.C.E. • 3.0 Research Dr. D. Taylor of the National Research Council of Canada investigated the behavior of sliding snow on metal and glass surfaces between 1973 and 1983. Dr. Taylor's research indicated that for glass surfaces snow slid at a much lower roof slope than indicated in the NBCC. In fact, a Cs factor of less than 0.4 could be used compared to the code value of 0.79 for a 26° sloped cold glass roof. Dr. Taylor's paper is found in Appendix „A„ Sprung Instant Structures retained AGRA Earth & Environmental Ltd. to find the coefficient of friction of the outer membrane used on Sprung Structures. Agra found that the coated material used has a lower coefficient of friction than glass. The summary of Agra's tests are found in Appendix "A". To verify the findings of Dr. Taylor and AGRA the past performance of 34 Spnmg Structures at fifteen sites across the country were checked. While the structures were in use, daily snow falls and ground snow depths were obtained for these sites from Environment Canada and converted into loadings using the same snow densities that were used in developing the snow loads in the 1990 NBCC supplement, and the results of our findings are shown in Tables 2 and 3. Past performance of Sprung Structures indicate a Cs = 0.40 may be too high.

Field observations are important -in evaluating the structure's behaviour under snow loads. Sprung Structures have been constructing and erecting structures in areas with ground snow loads up to 200 psf since 1972. In all cases the structures have performed well, not showing any structural distress. However, the snow capacity of standard Sprung Structures lie in the range of 9 psf to 19 psf. The photographs in Appendix C give indications of the structure's behaviour. Photographs C-1 and C-2 show a structure in Karsen, B.C. Photograph C-2 shows the amount of snow that has slid off the roof of the structure. Photographs C-4 to C-7 show how little snow is retained by Sprung Structures compared to conventional roofs. Photographs C-9 and C-10 are very revealing. Observations have shown Sprung Structures release snow under very low snow falls ( 4 inches of snow). At most, the snow will build up from 6 to 10 inches before sliding off In the Christmas snow storms of 1997 in British Columbia it was observed that the 3 inches of rain after a 24 inch snow fall started the release of any snow remaining on the structure What pictures cannot show are the effects of wind causing the structure to vibrate (flutter) and the snow releasing off the roof due to the vibration. Sprung is now installing canopies over doorways to protect people from sliding snow which is readily released from the roof. Snow will accumulate at the base of the structure due to the snow shedding action. Table 2 lists structures installed in higher snow load areas and Appendix D has letters attesting to Sprung Structures performance in different parts of North America. 5. Conclusions .1 The code slope values found in the ASCE-7 do not reflect the unobstructed slippery surface of Sprung Structures and require much higher roof snow loads be supported by Sprung Structures than field observations would indicate. .2 Experience with Sprung Structures indicates that the Structures shed snow and can be used in high snow load areas. Strictures have been installed in areas (such as the Roger's Pass, B.C. and Alaska) where the snow should have collapsed the structures but have not over a period of many years. .3 Experience with Sprung Structures indicates, because of shedding snow, the structures perform well in areas of high winter rainfall in combination with snow. Example, Kitimat, B.C. or Seattle, Washington State where structures must be able to support 200 psf of snow load with an additional 3" of rain. .4 It is likely that the maximum snow Toad that a Sprung Structure has to support is under 6 psf no matter where the structure is located if the snow is cleared away from the perimeter of the structure. p David P.

Designers as a matter of course account for the snow . loads but have often forgotten that snow and ice on slippery sloping roofs may slide off, endangering people and property below. in 1974 (survey No. 4) six inclined metal and asphalt shingled roofs (Fig. 2) were built in a sheltered wood lot at the NRC in Ottawa to study the influence of slope and surface roughness on the snow loads (Taylor 1985). The roofs were 2.4 x 2.4 m, north facing, sheltered from the wind, and had slopes from 0 to 60°. Three were prepainted steel and three asphalt -shingled. 'In the following years five more roofs, including two of glass at 20 and 35° slopes (Fig 3), were added .to the site as shown in Table 1. Figure 2.

As a result of this survey and corroborating surveys in the USA (Sack 1988), changes were made to the 1990 NBC to allow reduced design loads on slippery sloping roofs where the snow could slide. off entirely (Fig 4). The interesting point was that although the survey was focussed on improving design loads in the NBC, engineers, architects and the public were much more concerned about problems due to falling snow and ice; there was an avalanche of ROOF LOAD / NBC GROUND LOAD 5 1.0 f f 1 I E I I I 0.9 0.8 0.7 �\ 0.6 \ 0.4° • 14; 0.3 • 1a \ 0.2 • es 0,1; ° s ! • • \ • PREPAINTED STEEL ROOFING G ASPHALT SHINGLES + GLASS ROOFS ----- 1990 NBC FOR SHELTERED ROOFS 1990 NBC FOR SLIPPERY SLOPING ROOFS 0 0 10 20 30 40 50 60 ROOF SLOPE, Deg 70 80 90 1,0 0.9 0.3 0.7 0,6 0.5 0.4 0.3 0.2 0.1 0 SLOPE -REDUCTION FACTOR, Figure 4.

The following are some anecdotal cases: 1. - In one - instance, owners of a row of asphalt -shingled condominium townhouses had them reroofed with metal. From the first snowfall, snow was avalanching onto their front walks, their driveways and their cars; they could not let their children play outside due to the danger. 2. In another a new arena occupying an entire city block was not accepted by the owner because snow and ice were falling onto the city sidewalks around the building. They apparently needed a mile of snow fences (and ultimately perhaps a mile of gutters too). 3. At a building on the east coast, snow and ice were accumulating, then sliding off sloping aluminum window sills on a multi-storey building arid falling to the streets below, creating a hazard.

Bos Dear Sir: March 28, 1988 CA08538 Subject: Tedlar and Herculite Fabrics Friction Coefficient With Snow At the request of Mr. W. Babowal of Babowal Builders & Engineers Ltd., two fabrics were tested. The purpose of testing was to determine the coefficient of friction between snow and each fabric. Tests were conducted at two temperatures, --l5oC and -loC using a walk-in freezer. A Karol -Warner Direct Shear Machine was used to measure the test parameters. The fabrics were cut and glued to a movable shear table. Snow was then placed in a collar which was held stationary with respect to the fabric and table. Normal (vertical) loads were applied to the snow/collar assembly and a lateral force applied to the movable table. Two lateral forces per test were recorded, the maximum force required. to initiate motion and the force required to maintain constant velocity. These are the static and kinetic friction forces respectively. Three normal loads were applied for each test sequence. The fabrics orientations were varied with respect to the direction of the motion. Direction one is perpendicular to direction two. The friction coefficients were calculated by dividing the lateral force by the normal force on the snow. The results are presented below. These are average values of the the three normal loads per test. 'S' designates the static coefficient while 'K' designates the kinetic coefficient. FABRIC ORIENT.

This is likely caused by water, in equilibrium with snow, acting as a lubricant thereby reducing the frictional forces. At OoC or greater, the friction would be zero since water cannot take shear. The Tedlar fabric's coefficient is related to the stitching orientation. This results from the surface smoothness which is greatest parallel to the main chords and lowest perpendicular to theses chords. To summarize, the maximum static coefficient is 0.12 on the Tedlar and Herculite fabrics. The minimum friction coefficient on the Tedlar fabric is 0.06 as discussed above. We trust the above is all that is required. Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call Jeff Small at 248-4331. JS:ww cc: Mr. W.

(Lynnwood, Washington, U.S.A.) has requested a review of calculations incorporating this data. As stated in our report, testing of the fabric at -1°C under a snow load gave a static friction factor of 0.01. Mr. Vanden Ende has used this value in determining if snow will rest on a "Tedlar" fabric roof with a 26° pitch. The attached diagram summarizes Mr. Vanden Ende's calculations. It is the opinion of HBT AGRA Limited that, although the calculations may be simplistic, they are accurate in estimating the forces expected.

Performance of Sprung Instant Structures in Utica, New York Dear Jeff This letter is being written to provide documentation regarding the performance of seven Sprung Structures owned by Niagara Mohawk Power corporation in Utica, New York. The Structures in use in Utica, were constructed in July, 1993, and have been in continuous service since that date. The Utica area generally receives in excess of 120" of snow yearly, and the Sprung Structures on our site have performed well. Snow which falls on the structure is generally shed from the roof before it accumulates to a level in excess of 1 foot. Additionally, during minor snow events, the accumulated snow on the roof is generally shed within several hours of the end of the snowfall. To date, we have not observed any adverse structural or physical impacts due to snow,rain or ice accumulation on the Sprung Structures. Additionally, we have incurred only minimal expenses to maintain the units, despite their usage under .an extreme heavy construction environment. Overall, we have been extremely pleased with the performance of the Sprung Structures, and the reliability of their technical. staff.

NUMBER: 101490 INTRODUCTION: This report presents test results of Flame Spread and Smoke Developed Values per ASTM E -84-89a. The report also includes Material Identification, Method of Preparation, Mounting and Conditioning of the specimens. The tests were performed in accordance with the specifications set forth in ASTM E -84-89a, "Standard Test Method for Surface Burning Characteristics of Building Materials", both as to equipment and test procedure. This test procedure is similar to UL -723, ANSI No. 2.5, NFPA NO. 255 and UBC 42-1. The test results cover two parameters: Flame Spread and Smoke Developed Values during a 10 -minute fire exposure. Inorganic cement board and red oak flooring are used as comparative standards and their responses are assigned arbitrary values of 0 and 100, respectively. PREPARATION AND CONDITIONING: Two (2) 2' x 12' sections of material were placed end to end to form a 2' x 24' specimen. The material was laid on a 2 -inch hexagonal wire mesh supported by steel rods spanning the width of the tunnel. The material was tested at a thickness of 0.021". The sample was conditioned at 73° + 5° Fahrenheit and 50 ± 5% relative humidity. TEST PROCEDURE: The tunnel was thoroughly pre -heated by burning natural gas. When -the brick temperature, sensed by a floor thermocouple, had reached the prescribed 105° Fahrenheit .± 5° Fahrenheit level, the sample was inserted in the tunnel and test conducted in accordance with the standard ASTM E -84-89a procedures. The operation of the tunnel was checked by performing a 10 -minute test with inorganic board on the day of the test. Page 2 United States Testing Company, Inc. CLIENT: Sprung Instant Structures Ltd. NUMBER: 101490 TEST RESULTS: The test results, calculated -in accordance with ASTM E -84-89a for Flame Spread and Smoke Developed Values are as follows: Vernon White Blackout Fabric Test Specimen:. Flame Spread Index*: 10 Smoke Developed Value*: 240 *Graphs of the Flame Spread, Smoke Developed and Time -Temperature are shown in Figures 1, 2 and 3 at the end of this report. OBSERVATIONS: Ignition was noted at 14 seconds along with charring and melting of the specimen directly exposed to the flame. Also observed were shrinking, slight flaking and flaking embers as the flamefront advanced a maximum distance of 2 feet at 26 seconds. Afterglow was evident upon test completion.

The specimens are conditioned for 30 minutes at 105°C, or if they melt or distort at these temperatures, 18 - 22°C at 50% R.H. for at least 12 hours. Each specimen is removed from the conditioning chamber individually, clamped in a U-shaped metal holder and suspended in a specified cabinet. The free edge of the specimen is positioned 20 mm above the tip of a gas burner which has been adjusted to yield a flame height of 40 mm. Flame exposure time is 12 seconds. Char length and afterflame time are measured. Flame Resistance Requirements: Maximum Average Length of Char or Destroyed Material for Ten Specimens 165 mm Maximum Length of Char or Destroyed Material for any Specimens 190 mm The specified maximum flaming time for residue on the floor of the tester from.any specimen is 2.0 seconds. Large -Flame Test For conducting flame tests of fabrics in single sheets, the procedure specifies ten specimens, 125 mm by 750 mm to 2100 mm long. The specimens are conditioned at 105 ±2°C for 30 minutes or, if distortion or melting occurs at these temperatures, 20 ± 2°C at 25 - 50% relative humidity for at least 12 hours. Each specimen is removed from the conditioning chamber and cooled in a desiccator prior to being suspended in a steel stack 310 mm square and 2130 mm high, the said stack being open both top and bottom and supported 300 mm above the floor. The lower edge of the specimen is positioned 100 mm above the tip of a gas burner which is inclined at 25° to the vertical. The burner, which has been adjusted to yield a flame 280 mm in height is ignited and inserted directly beneath the specimen for 2 minutes. Char length is measured from the tip of the flame, upwards. For conducting flame tests of fabrics hung in folds, at least four specimens 625 mm by 750 mm to 2100 mm are required. Each specimen is folded longitudinally to form four folds.
