Question

How can I switch to full-screen mode on the Geo-Zone Tool website "Snow Load, Wind Speed, and Seismic Load Maps"?

Answer:

The Geo-Zone Tool website "Snow Load, Wind Speed, and Seismic Load Maps" shows a map application for determining loads specific for a certain location as an embedded solution in the global Dlubal website.

By clicking the "Switch to Fullscreen Mode" button, you can use the map application over the entire window with no general website controls.

Wind Zones of Germany
In Germany, DIN EN 1991-1-4 with the National Annex DIN EN 1991-1-4/NA regulates the wind loads. The standard applies to civil engineering works up to an altitude of 300 m.
Graded Wind Load over Different Building Heights
The wind loads are regulated according to Eurocode 1 - Actions on Structures - Part 1-4: General actions - Wind loads. The nationally determined parameters of a respective country can be found in the National Annexes.
Structure and Wind Load Due to Friction
Wind blowing parallel to the surfaces of a structure can generate friction forces on these surfaces. This effect is important mainly for very large structures.
Model and Computational Domain
The following study compares the wind pressure on a tall building obtained by RWIND Simulation with the results published by Dagnew et al. at the 11th Americas Conference on Wind Engineering in June, 2009. In this paper, the Commonwealth Advisory Aeronautical Council (CAARC) building is used as a model, and the results of several different numerical methods are compared with experimental data obtained from wind tunnels.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
I noticed deviations from my sources in the online service "Snow Load, Wind Speed, and Seismic Load Maps". Where can I find information about the sources of your online service?
I noticed deviations from the map of DIN EN 1998‑1 or DIN 4149 in the online service "Geo-Zone Tool: Snow Load, Wind Speed, and Seismic Load Maps". Can you tell me which map is current and thus governing?
The online service "Snow Load, Wind Speed, and Seismic Load Maps" displays the snow load zones 1*, 1a*, 2*, and 3* for Germany. Where are these snow load zones defined?
Why is the load value displayed in the online service "Geo-Zone Tool: Snow Load, Wind Speed, and Seismic Load Maps" different from the value in the corresponding standard in some cases?
Is it also possible to integrate the Geo-Zone tool for the load determination into a web service (API)? What are the conditions?
Which packages are available for the Geo-Zone Tool?
