After entering the location—for example, by entering the ZIP code, the name of the town, or by clicking on the Google Map—you will get:
- For snow:
- Snow load zone
- Characteristic value of snow load sk
- For wind:
- Wind zone
- Basic value of basic wind velocity vb,0
- Basic velocity pressure qb
- For earthquakes:
- Seismic zone
- Reference value of maximum ground acceleration agR
- Geological subsoil class, etc.
- For tornadoes (USA only):
- Design wind velocity V
You can use the print function to generate all the input values required for snow, wind, and seismic load assumptions.
In addition to manual operation, the website also offers a web service (API) for integration with external programs. This, of course, makes things a lot easier for you.
This service is based on Google Maps. Since we incur costs for this service, you are only allowed a limited number of geodata queries free of charge.
To use the Geo-Zone Tool without restrictions, you can purchase two different packages from the Dlubal Webshop, depending on your quota:
- Geo-Zone Tool | 500 queries
- Geo-Zone Tool | 5,000 queries
This quota can then be used by all employees of a company for an unlimited period of time for all supported maps and load standards.
Note:
We also offer customized adaptations to this online service, as well as map implementations and more. Is this something that might interest you? If so, please get in touch with us.
