1170Actions - Structural Design Actions

Input your site details and building details and get a tidy 4 page set of printed output giving design wind speeds for your building and dynamic wind coefficients to support your engineering calculations all in accordance with the requirements of AS/NZS1170. In the spreadsheet you will find:

An index sheet that leads you through the preliminary project setup and lets you describe your specific building and site detail including

building plan and elevation dimensions
building orientation
the wind region at which the site is located
the annual probability of exceedence under consideration.

A Calculation sheet that accepts that input and permits entry of directional site parameters relating to

terrain roughness variations upwind of the site
Shielding objects upwind
variations in topography

Observe the developing wind rose of wind speeds evolve as data is fed into WindCalc
Orientate your building relative to the cardinal directional wind speeds computed
The resulting orthogonal wind speeds are computed for the nominated reference heights of interest.

Plus upon entry of the dynamic characteristics of your building WindCalc will compute

The Along wind dynamic pressure coefficient in each orthogonal direction
The Across wind excitation effects.

Save, store and restore your project for later modification or as the basis of future projects.
