Web Queries (API) Geo-Zone Tool: Loading and Standard Setting

How can I set the loading and standards for web queries (API) of the Geo-Zone Tool?

Answer:

A web query of the Geo-Zone Tool requires a URL composed of the identity components.

→ Controlling WebService (API)

The load types and standards are defined by a "map" component, which is composed of three parts:

  • The first part of the block always remains unchanged and is "map=".
  • In the second part, you specify the load category to be queried. The snow/wind/earthquake categories are available for this.
  • The third part refers to the respective standard that is stored and intended for the analyzed area. For this, an existing standard or National Annex, if available, or a corresponding table applies.

For example, to get the structural loads for snow in Germany, the following component is required:

map=snow-din-en-1991-1-3

To carry out a query for a different load type and standard, it is necessary to adjust the corresponding parts. The component for a query about the wind in Italy is as follows:

map=wind-UNI-EN-1991-1-4

Tip

If the third part (the set of rules) is omitted and the load category is only specified, the query also works. In this case, the results are displayed according to the currently valid standard. Example: map=snow

You can select load zones from a wide range of international standards:

Standards and Annexes for Snow Loads

Standards and Annexes for Wind Loads

Standards and Annexes for Seismic Loads
