Wind loads, worked the way you would.
Every pressure zone, coefficient, and load case from ASCE 7-22 — computed step by step, shown in full, and rendered as an interactive 3D model you can turn in your hand — then exported as a report you can put straight in the project file.
Built and maintained by a licensed structural engineer.
Live output — every surface coloured by its design pressure, with the load direction shown. Rotate it in the app.
Coverage schedule
The cases your projects actually run
One tool across the whole wind scope — no jumping between spreadsheets for the sub-mode you happen to need today.
| Reference | System | Cases covered |
|---|---|---|
| Ch. 27 | MWFRS | Directional procedure — enclosed, partially enclosed & partially open; flat, gable, hip, monoslope, arched and domed roofs; open buildings (monoslope, pitched, troughed). |
| Ch. 30 | Components & Cladding | General, multi-span, tall (h > 60 ft) incl. elevated soffit, open buildings, parapets, roof overhangs, attached canopies, silos & tanks, roof pavers. |
| Ch. 29 | Appurtenances | Solid freestanding signs & walls, chimneys / tanks / silos, open signs & single-plane frames, trussed towers. |
| §29.4.3–.5 | Solar | Rooftop panels, tilted and parallel to the roof, plus ground-mounted fixed-tilt arrays with dynamic gust effects. |
Capabilities
Rigorous where it counts, quick everywhere else
The engine follows ASCE 7-22 to the letter. The workflow keeps you moving through it.
Branded PDF output
Every calculation exports a clean report with inputs, results and code references — ready for the project file.
Nothing is a black box
Each step shows the governing equation, the coefficients used, and every intermediate value behind the result.
Projects that reopen
Organize work in a folder tree and reopen a whole session — every sub-mode — exactly where you left it.
Strict ASCE 7-22
Closed-form coefficients where the Commentary provides them, with figure-rounded values available when you prefer.
Seats you manage
Your firm admin adds or removes engineers as the team changes, within the seat count on your plan.
Nothing to install
Runs in the browser, on any machine — office desktop or a laptop on site. No licence keys to chase.
The deliverable
The report is the product
Every run exports a report built for the project file — inputs echoed, every provision cited, pressure diagrams drawn, and the limits the code imposes checked and shown. This is the actual output for a sample gable warehouse, untouched.
Pricing
Per engineer, billed to the firm
Full wind scope on every plan. Add or remove engineers anytime. Thirty days free. Tell us about your team and we’ll set up your trial — no card needed to start.
Professional-use note. The Wind Load Calculator is a calculation aid implementing provisions of ASCE/SEI 7-22. It does not perform engineering services and is not a substitute for engineering judgment. The licensed engineer of record is solely responsible for verifying all inputs, outputs, applicability, and code compliance before any reliance or use.
