Abstract

As a region affected by the Mongolian Siberian high-pressure system, the Northeast area of China faces extreme low temperatures and snowy weather in winter, which poses a high demand for local energy. As a relatively mature sustainable energy source, laying solar photovoltaic panels on the roofs of residential buildings relied on sufficient local sunlight resources has become a feasible measure. From the perspective of engineering safety, this paper studies the stability of a single span double slope roof steel truss with added solar photovoltaic panels under snow loads. First, the types of loads on the truss are analyzed, assuming the distribution of the load and capacity of any member in the truss structure. Then, Monte Carlo algorithm is used to simulate the failure probability, and finally the failure probability of the member as well as the overall structure is obtained. As a conclusion, this paper finds that the stability of this structure is basically not affected by the above factors, and this provides certain reference significance for balancing safety and economic benefits in practical engineering design.
