About MkaPEB
MkaPEB has a wide range of template types defined for portal frame and steel roof truss systems with variable cross-section. All the features of the roof systems in these templates are parametric. If needed, they can be defined side by side and in different levels. After the wind related parameters are taken from the regulations, the distributed loads coming to the roof and facades of the structure are calculated automatically. The loads coming to the roof and facades are automatically transferred to the roof and wall purlins and then to the main carrier system. One of the biggest problems when calculating snow loads is the amount of snow accumulated in between, especially when roof systems are at different elevations. The calculation methods are given in EN-1991-1-3 and ASCE-07-16 for the load increase due to snow accumulation.
