Abstract
In this study, we conducted interviews with building managers as well as on-site surveys with regards to snow accumulation on the roof of membrane structures for the purpose of collecting data that may be used as a basis for appropriate evaluation of snow load on the roof of membrane structures in regions with heavy snowfall. The results showed that for a membrane structure, a V-shaped roof of membrane panels is effective for reducing snow load on the roof.
