Determining Snow Capacity of Snow Protection Facilities on Roads in the Mountainous Area / Sniego Apsaugos Įrenginių Naudojimas Kalnuotose Kelių Vietovėse

Abstract

The article deals with the snow capacity of snow protection facilities. The purpose of the given work is to determine the snow capacity of snow protection facilities on roads in the mountainous area. To carry out theoretical studies there were applied analytical methods. The article presents a general form of formulas for determining the snow-retaining capacity and the snow capacity of snow protection facilities through well-known geometrical parameters and there were offered protective means against snowdrift.
