ASCE 7 Hazard Tool

ASCE 7 Hazard Tool

ASCE 7 Hazard Tool

(OP)
Just wondering how many other engineers are using the new ASCE 7 Hazard Tool put out by the ASCE. I've got to say I'm pretty impressed, they should have put this out there ten years ago.

RE: ASCE 7 Hazard Tool

They've had it, or something like it, for quite a few years.
(Edit: Sorry I thought you were referring to the USGS tool)

RE: ASCE 7 Hazard Tool

Am i correct that if you subscribe (pay) the website opens up to show all risks (wind, snow, ice, seismic, etc)? or is that info only for certain locations.

I could see the guest information being limited.

RE: ASCE 7 Hazard Tool

Best resource I have seen for flood information.

RE: ASCE 7 Hazard Tool

Aside from flood information, I don't see what this really gets me that I can't already look up in ASCE-7 quickly or isn't already provided with the USGS seismic data tool.

Anyone got a sample of the full report printout? EDIT: Found this which describes it well enough: http://www.ascetools.online/

Its the snow load that always gets me, the national map is usually no good for most of the western US. Really it comes down to your local building dept.
