Uzbekistan: continental climate, rail freight and a real snow case.
Hot summers and cold winters in one project. A house in Tashkent or Samarkand needs a snow case for winter and a vent case for summer, and the frame has to satisfy both without being overbuilt for either.
The snow case is the one that changes steel. Ask your engineer for the ground snow load in kg/m² and the roof exposure; a house sized for 10 kg/m² and one sized for 40 kg/m² are not the same order, even at the same span.
| Item | Note | |
|---|---|---|
| Snow | give kg/m² and altitude | arch wall, spacing |
| Wind | open steppe exposure | anchors, bracing |
| Summer heat | vent area and shading | ridge vent, shade |
| Freight | rail, landlocked | bundle density |
| Cutting | at mill, to bay | less site work |
Rail freight rewards density. Nested arches and cut-to-bay lengths fit more steel per wagon, and the fittings should travel inside the bundle. This is the same logic as Ethiopia, with a different border.
Snow is not a single number
Ground snow load, roof shape, exposure and whether the house is heated all change the effective load. Give us the figure your engineer signs, not a guess from a weather map.
