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

The desired standard or map can be selected directly via the FAQ linked below, where you can find a clear list of all available maps. You can also display the name of the map you are looking for in the online tool by selecting the corresponding map and opening it in full screen mode. The name will then appear in the URL.

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
