wool:USA (The Wind Tool) is the pocket calculator which determines building response as per the US national wind-loading code ASCE 7-2010.
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 the USA.
wool:USA is possibly the best thing since the invention of the Boundary Layer Wind-Tunnel
+ Design your own building and calculate the following responses for wind along two-orthogonal directions:
* Base Overturning Moments
* Base Shear Forces
* Maximum Tip deflection
* Torsion

+ Calculate and plot the following over the height of the building:
* Static, Dynamic and Total Wind Loads
* Shear Forces
* Deflection
* Torsion

+ Easy to use interface with minimal inputs required from the user:
* Basic building dimensions (HxLxD)
* Frequencies of vibration and assumed structural damping (pre-sets as defined by ASCE 7-10 and commentary)
* Upstream terrain category and regional wind speed (with hi-res map of various return periods and regions of the US to aid in the selection of regional wind speed)

+ Advanced controls available for the experienced engineer:
* Topographic Multiplier (Kzt)
* Wind Directionality Factor (Kd)
* Eccentricity creating torsion
* Building density

+ Outputs important parameters used in the calculation of building response for user reference:
* Response factors (peak, background and resonant)
* Gust effect factor and its components (mean, background, resonant)
* Reference dynamic pressure

+ Save projects and edit later
+ SI and Imperial Units
+ Help Buttons for more information on the definition of inputs
