This work will study indepth the factors that influence the formation           of snow drift loads on multilevel roofs.  Two type of factors will be           examined:  the geometric properties of the building, e.g., ratio of             buildings windward face, ratio of building light to upper roof's                length, etc.; environmental factors, e.g., ground snow load, windspeed          during and after snow falls, etc.  The objective of this work is to             improve the knowledge related to these factors, to assess the current           state-of-the-art for determining drift loads on multilevel roofs, and           to formulate models for predicting the 50-Year Mean Recurrence Interval         Drift Load.  The results of this project will be of use to building             codes and load standards so as to investigate structure failures due to         snow drifts.
