Method 1 - Simplified Method for Low-rise Buildings (MWFRS and Components & Cladding).
Method 2 - Analytical Procedure for Buildings of All Heights (MWFRS, Components & Cladding), Open Buildings, Freestanding Walls & Signs and Other Structures.
Adjustments for Mean Sea Level, Importance Factor, topography, and Exposure Category are made automatically.
External & internal pressure coefficients and gust factors (including flexible structures) are computed by the program.
Where applicable, the frontal area of the structure can be input and the program will integrate the pressures over the frontal area to determine forces, shears, and overturning moments.
Reports/output are in spreadsheet format; values can be copied and pasted into Excel or similar spreadsheet programs.
Computations are listed for each step allowing for easy verification and your "peace of mind."
Intelligent dialog boxes make sure that only the appropriate options for a selected category are available eliminating confusion and errors. |
