Snow Load Weight Calculator

Formula

To calculate the snow load weight:

\[ SW = A \times D \times 4.5 \]

Where:

\(SW\) is the Snow Load Weight (lb)
\(A\) is the snow area (ft²)
\(D\) is the snow depth (ft)

What is Snow Load Weight?

Snow load weight describes the total weight of snow on a given area. It is calculated based on the area covered by snow and the depth of the snow, multiplied by a constant factor to account for the density of the snow.

Example Calculation 1

Let's assume the following values:

Snow Area (\(A\)) = 500 ft²
Snow Depth (\(D\)) = 2 ft

Using the formula:

\[ SW = 500 \times 2 \times 4.5 = 4500 \, \text{lb} \]

The Snow Load Weight is 4500 lb.

Example Calculation 2

Let's assume the following values:

Snow Area (\(A\)) = 300 ft²
Snow Depth (\(D\)) = 1.5 ft

Using the formula:

\[ SW = 300 \times 1.5 \times 4.5 = 2025 \, \text{lb} \]

The Snow Load Weight is 2025 lb.
