Wind loads

Wind loads are decisive for the dimensioning of a large number of components and structures, especially in lightweight construction. Determining the wind load itself can be complex and time-consuming.

LoCaStatik has set itself the task of making this calculation easier for you. This saves you a lot of time compared to conventional calculation methods such as Excel tables.

All your advantages at a glance

• Wind load calculations according to the current ÖNORM EN 1991-1-4 and DIN EN 1991-1-4
• Changes to standards are constantly being adapted
• All addresses in Austria can be selected
• 38 components for your wind load calculation
• Results protocols available as PDF, Word or Excel in German and English

All wind load calculations by LoCaStatik are based on the current Eurocode 1991-1-4 and the associated Austrian or German national appendix. There is a lot of know-how behind every calculation and the intention is to make theoretical backgrounds comprehensible and understandable for you. A detailed description of the calculation is available to you for each calculation.

Dimension your construction economically through precise wind load approaches.

Getting started

Because standards are constantly being adapted and expanded, it is difficult to always stay up to date with the latest technology. So that you don't have to worry about it, LoCaStatik always keeps the calculations up to date by continuously and carefully incorporating any changes to and additions to the standards.

You have the option of performing 22 different wind load calculations. The result protocol is made available to you as a PDF, Word & Excel.

Free-standing walls

With the module for free-standing walls, you can, for example, create the foundations of noise barriers in a resource-saving manner. You can also use this module to dimension railings and fences.

Canopy roofs

Are you planning gas station roofing, carports or the like? With the modules for free-standing roofs, dimensioning is easy.

Entire building

Calculate wind loads on walls and all common roof shapes quickly and easily. In addition to the internal pressure and friction, also consider size-dependent influences.

Slim components

Dimension supports, rolled profiles or trusses economically and quickly with the modules for slim components.

Structural factor

Did you know that, with a few exceptions, the structural coefficient has to be calculated in Austria and can also be greater than 1?

With the structural coefficient, you can design wide buildings economically and safely.
