After entering the location by e.g. postal code (ZIP code), place name, 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
- Basic value of the basic wind velocity vb,0
- Basic velocity pressure qb
- For earthquakes:
- Earthquake zone
- Reference value of the maximum ground acceleration agR
- Geological subsoil class, etc.
- For tornadoes (USA only):
- Design wind speed V
Using the print function, you can display all input values necessary for load assumptions for snow, wind, and earthquakes.
In addition to manual operation, the website also offers a web service (API) for connection to external programs. Of course, this makes things much easier for you.
The service uses the Google Maps service as its basis. Since this is subject to a fee for us, only a limited number of geo-data queries are available free of charge.
For unlimited use of the Geo-Zone Tool, you can purchase two different packages in the Dlubal web shop, depending on the quota:
- Geo-Zone Tool | 500 queries
- Geo-Zone Tool | 5000 queries
This quota can then be used by all employees of a company without time limitation for all supported maps and load standards.
Note:
We also offer custom adaptations to this online service as well as map implementations, etc. as a service. Does that sound interesting to you? Then please get in touch with us.
