KMK 2.01.07-96 PDF

Full title and description

KMK 2.01.07-96 (Russian: КМК 2.01.07-96) — "Loads and impacts" (Нагрузки и воздействия). An interstate technical document published in 1996 that sets rules, regional maps and calculation procedures for design loads (snow, wind, imposed/live loads and related combinations) used in the design of building and civil engineering structures across participating CIS countries; the document is available in Russian and in some commercial English translations and is published with at least one amendment (Amendment No.1).

Abstract

KMK 2.01.07-96 provides normative requirements and methods for determining environmental and imposed loads on structures (primarily snow and wind loads, plus rules for load combinations and regional zoning). It is intended to harmonize load-setting practices across CIS member states while allowing national application through local maps and supplements. The document is commonly referenced alongside national codes such as SNiP and later national updates.

General information

• Status: Active / in-use as an interstate (CIS) design document (commercial distributors list the document as active and available with amendment).
• Publication date: 1996 (document designation ends with -96 indicating the year of adoption; the text is circulated with Amendment No.1).
• Publisher: Interstate technical/regulatory framework for CIS construction norms (issued as an interstate KMK design document and reproduced by national construction authorities and commercial standards publishers).
• ICS / categories: Building and civil engineering — structural design; loads and actions for buildings (codes for snow, wind and imposed loads).
• Edition / version: Original 1996 edition, circulated with Amendment No.1 (document is commonly referenced as "KMK 2.01.07-96 with Amendment No.1").
• Number of pages: Typical electronic editions list ~36 pages (commercial product listings).

Scope

KMK 2.01.07-96 defines the normative procedures and numerical values (zoning maps, characteristic load intensities, exposure/terrain categories and combination rules) for calculating design loads on building structures within the states that apply the KMK framework. The standard addresses snow loads (including regional snow-weight maps and special provisions for mountainous or poorly studied areas), wind loads (regional wind-pressure zoning, terrain and height factors) and rules for combining loads in structural design. It is intended to be used in conjunction with national application notes or supplements where required.

Key topics and requirements

• Zoning maps and tabulated characteristic values for snow load intensity by region and for special cases (mountain/local supplements).
• Rules for determining wind pressure, districting by wind speed/pressure and terrain/exposure adjustments.
• Definitions of imposed (live) loads for building categories and typical load values for design.
• Load combination rules and factors to be used in ultimate and serviceability limit state checks.
• Special provisions for atypical structures, roof shapes and snow redistribution effects.
• Guidance for applying national supplements and interpreting interstate values for local practice.

Typical use and users

Primary users are structural and civil engineers, architects, design offices, building code authorities and software developers who implement design-code logic for load generation (analysis packages that support CIS codes). KMK 2.01.07-96 is used when projects are designed to interstate (CIS) practice or where national regulators reference or adopt the KMK provisions for snow and wind loading. It is also used as a reference when comparing or reconciling SNiP and newer national documents.

Related standards

Documents commonly referenced together with KMK 2.01.07-96 include: SNiP 2.01.07-85 (and later national revisions), SP 20.13330.x updates (Russian practice), national codes such as DBN (Ukraine/DPN), DSTU, and Eurocode EN 1991 when cross-referencing international load procedures. KMK documents for other load topics (e.g., KMK 2.01.01-96) and national amendments/supplements are also associated.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: KMK 2.01.07-96 is an interstate (CIS) technical standard titled "Loads and impacts" that establishes rules, maps and calculation procedures for design loads on buildings and structures (notably snow and wind).

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers determination of characteristic load values (snow, wind, imposed/live loads), zoning maps, terrain/exposure factors, load combination rules and special provisions for atypical conditions (mountain zones, snow redistribution). The standard provides the numeric and procedural basis designers use to calculate design actions.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Structural engineers, architects, building authorities, and software developers implementing design-code load generation for projects within jurisdictions that reference or apply KMK documents. It is also used as a comparative reference against national SNiP/SP or EN standards.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: The original KMK 2.01.07-96 text is the 1996 interstate edition; commercial listings indicate it circulates with Amendment No.1 and remains in use where jurisdictions continue to reference KMK rules. In many countries it is used alongside or has been supplemented/replaced in part by later national documents (for example later SP revisions in the Russian Federation). Users should confirm the currently adopted code in the target country or region before design.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: Yes — KMK 2.01.07-96 is one document within the KMK family of interstate construction and engineering codes; related KMK documents address other load topics and regional climate classification (for example KMK 2.01.01-96 and other KMK-series references). It is typically used in coordination with national KMK supplements and other SNiP/KMK documents.

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: Snow load, wind load, imposed/load combinations, regional zoning maps, terrain/exposure, KMK 2.01.07-96, КМК, loads and impacts.
