ABOUT wool:AUS (Wind AS/NZS 1170.2)
wool:AUS (The Wind Tool) is the pocket calculator which determines building response as per the Australian national wind-loading code AS/NZS 1170.2 2011. The perfect tool to aid engineering professionals, students and teachers in the calculation and verification of the design of mid-rise and tall-buildings in Australia. wool:Australia is possibly the best thing since the invention of the Boundary Layer Wind-Tunnel
★ Design your own building and calculate along-wind and cross-wind responses for four wind directions:* Base Overturning Moments* Base Shear Forces* Torsion* Maximum Tip Deflection* Maximum Tip Acceleration
★ Calculate and plot along-wind and cross-wind responses over the height of the building:* Point Loads* Shear Forces* Deflection* Torsion
★ Easy to use interface with minimal inputs required from the user:* Basic building dimensions (HxLxD)* Frequencies of vibration, assumed structural damping and mode shape exponents (pre-sets as defined by AS/NZS 1170.2 commentary)* Return period, upstream terrain category and regional wind speed (with hi-res map of various wind regions of Australia)
★ Advanced controls available for the experienced engineer:* Topographic Multiplier (Mt)* Shielding Multiplier (Ms)* Directional Multiplier (Md)* Action Combination Factor (Kc)* Eccentricity creating torsion* Building density
★ Outputs important parameters used in the calculation of building response for user reference★ Save projects and edit later★ SI Units★ Help Buttons for more information on the definition of inputs
