Building Inputs

General building info

Confirm the inputs for this model. Values tagged auto are filled from the model or the ASCE hazard report — you can override any of them. Wind pressures (MWFRS + C&C) and snow distribution are computed from these.

Site & hazards. Import the ASCE Design Hazards Report for this location to auto-fill Sₛ, S₁, V, pg and T_L.
