Wall wind-pressure worksheets. Built for PE review.

Turn a U.S. project address and site assumptions into wall pressures at building height. Download a worksheet that documents the basis for the project engineer’s review.

Preliminary — not stamped engineering. The project engineer reviews inputs, pressures, and suitability.

Capabilities

From site inputs to a reviewable record.

A focused worksheet for wall C&C.
The assumptions stay with the results.

  1. 01

    Start with the site

    Geocode the address; check AHJ and Special Wind Region context.

  2. 02

    Record the standard

    ASCE 7-16 or 7-22, recorded as the worksheet’s basis.

  3. 03

    Set one exposure

    One exposure category: B, C, or D for the whole run.

  4. 04

    Review wall pressures

    Wall C&C pressures at building height h.

  5. 05

    Keep the wind-speed basis

    Hazard Tool wind speed or a clearly marked manual value.

  6. 06

    Take the PDF to review

    PDF: inputs, assumptions, results, PE checklist, and sign-off.

How it works

One path. Four stages.

Prepare the basis.
Keep professional judgment in the loop.

  1. 01

    Site

    Enter a U.S. project address. Review site coordinates and jurisdiction context.

  2. 02

    Standard & assumptions

    Select the edition, risk category, exposure, geometry, and wind-speed basis.

  3. 03

    Pressures

    Review wall pressures at building height and the factors used.

  4. 04

    PDF review

    Download the worksheet for the project engineer to check and assess suitability.

Open worksheet

Start at the site address step.

The review artifact

What the worksheet looks like.

The PDF worksheet is the deliverable the project engineer reviews: inputs, assumptions, pressures, and their basis in one record.

  1. 01

    Site & assumptions

    Project context, the selected standard, and building inputs.

  2. 02

    Visible qualifications

    AHJ warnings stay alongside the information requiring review.

  3. 03

    Pressure summary

    Velocity pressure at height h, with the design basis identified.

A layout sample, not a project.

Static HTML facsimile of the qualification page. No client data, calculated pressures, or source verification is represented here.

PRELIMINARY — NOT STAMPED ENGINEERING
Sample only. No project inputs or engineering results.

Anonymized sample. Illustrative layout. Not computed project data.

Professional use / limits

A worksheet. Not an approval.

Prepared for review.
Responsibility stays with the project engineer.

Not stamped engineering
WindLoad is a worksheet tool. The applicable code, inputs, assumptions, resulting pressures, and suitability for the project require review by the project engineer.
No approvals
The worksheet does not grant permit, construction, or fabrication approval. WindLoad is not the engineer of record.
Wind-speed basis
The ASCE Hazard Tool lookup is subject to usage limits, and values entered by hand are identified as manual. Confirm the governing edition and any local amendments with the authority having jurisdiction.
Scope
The worksheet covers wall pressures at the building height h for one selected exposure category. It is not a roof, opening-by-opening, or main wind-force resisting system (MWFRS) design.
