The problem

Site-specific loads require manual table lookups for every project

Getting the seismic hazard value or wind region for a project address means cross-referencing the standard's maps and tables. Engineers do this correctly most of the time, but the lookup is time-consuming and the value is entered manually - without a reference to the source map or table it came from.

How it works

  1. 01

    Address-based load retrieval

    Enter a street address or coordinates. Calcs.com returns the wind region, terrain category, seismic hazard, and site subsoil class from the applicable standard for that location.

  2. 02

    Values applied directly to calculations

    Retrieved values feed directly into the wind and seismic calculations. The source - the standard, section, and location coordinates - is attached to each value.

  3. 03

    Nearby project visibility

    Calcs.com shows other projects at the same address or nearby that your team has calculated before. Reuse confirmed site data without repeating the lookup.

Frequently asked questions

Which regions does address-based load retrieval support?▾
Project address load retrieval is supported for Australian, New Zealand, and US locations. Eurocode wind and seismic regions require manual selection for the current release.
How accurate is the site-specific data?▾
Calcs.com uses the same underlying geographic data as the applicable standard. For AU and NZ, this is the GIS data referenced in AS/NZS 1170. For US, it is the USGS data referenced in ASCE 7.
Does the project address affect all calculations in a project?▾
Yes. Setting a project address applies the site-specific values to all calculations in that project that use wind or seismic loading.
