Find snow load, wind load, and seismic load with Google Maps


After entering the location by, for example, zip code (ZIP code), name of the town, or by clicking on the Google map, you will receive:

  • For snow:
    • Snow load zone
    • Characteristic value of the snow load sk
  • For wind:
    • Wind zone
    • Fundamental basic wind velocity vb,0
    • Basic velocity pressure qb
  • For earthquake:
    • Seismic zone
    • Reference of peak ground acceleration agR
    • Subsoil class and so on.
  • For tornadoes (USA only):
    • Design wind speed V

You can use the print function to display all the input values for snow, wind, and seismic structural loads.

In addition to manual operation, the website also provides a web service (API) for connecting to external programs. This greatly simplifies your work.

The service is based on the Google Maps service. As this is subject to a charge for us, you only have limited access to geo-data queries free of charge.

For unlimited use of the Geo-Zone Tool, you can purchase two different packages in the Dlubal webshop, depending on the quota:

  • Geo-Zone Tool | 500 queries
  • Geo-Zone Tool | 5000 queries

This package can then be used by all employees of your company for all supported maps and load standards for an unlimited period of time.

Note:

We also provide individual customizations to this online service as well as map implementations, and so on. Does this sound interesting to you? If so, please contact us.
