Zones for snow, wind and seism - versions

03-1026 : General updates (September 23, 2023)

Usability improvements, minor and security updates.

01-0719 : Improved accuracy of elevations in continental Europe. (June 16, 2021)

Elevations determination is now based on the European digital elevation model Copernicus instead of NASA SRTM digital elevation model.

01-0329 : Update of the fundamental value of the basic wind velocity (Vb,0) for New Caledonia. (February 26, 2021)

According to decree N° 2020-1287/GNC of August 18, 2020 setting the list of standards and technical texts applicable in New Caledonia, the basic wind velocity (Vb,0) used is 36 m/s and the reference to terrain category IV is removed.

00-0321 : Automatic calculation of distances to coasts in Italy (February 18, 2020)

The distances to the coasts in each of the wind directions are calculated automatically by Eurocodes Zoning software.

00-0313 : Advanced tool for orography (February 10, 2020)

Addition of a tool which makes it possible to obtain altitudes on a line, to draw the profile of the terrain and to automatically calculate the orography factor for isolated hills, ridges, cliff or escarpments.

00-0301 : Addition of Italy (January 29, 2020)

Snow load and wind peak velocity pressures can be obtained in Italy. The seismic parameters can be found at http://esse1.mi.ingv.it/

00-0223 : Addition of Luxembourg (January 20, 2020)

Snow load, wind peak velocity pressures and seismic accelerations can be obtained in Luxembourg.

00-0219 : Addition of Belgium (January 16, 2020)

The snow zones, wind zones and seismic zones can be obtained in Belgium. Calculation of directional factor, roughness factor, probability factor from the design working life of the building.

00-0000 : First upload with France (October 28, 2019)

The snow zones, wind zones and seismic zones can be obtained in France. Calculation of directional factor, orography factor, roughness factor, probability factor from the design working life of the building.
