Program Description

This is a spreadsheet program written in MS-Excel for the purpose of wind loading analysis for buildings and structures per the ASCE 7-10 Code. Specifically, wind pressure coefficients and related and required parameters are selected or calculated in order to compute the net design wind pressures. Program is based on Alex Tomanovich’s “ASCE705W” program and modified by David Taylor and William Fultz.This program is a workbook consisting of nine (7) worksheets, described as follows
