"ASCE705" --- ASCE 7-05 CODE ICE LOAD ANALYSIS PROGRAM

Program Description:

"ASCE705" is a spreadsheet program written in MS-Excel for the purpose of determining ice loading due to
freezing rain on structural steel members per the ASCE 7-05 Code. Specifically, coefficients and related and
required parameters are determined in order to compute the ice loading on various types of structural steel
members.

This program is a workbook consisting of eight (8) worksheets, described as follows:

Worksheet Name Description

Doc This documentation sheet
W, M, S, HP Shapes Ice loading analysis for W, M, S, and HP shapes
C, MC Shapes Ice loading analysis for C and MC shapes
WT, MT, ST Shapes Ice loading analysis for WT, MT, and ST shapes
Single Angles Ice loading analysis for single angle shapes
Rect. & Square HSS Ice loading analysis for rectangular and square HSS shapes
Round HSS & Pipe Ice loading analysis for round HSS and pipe shapes
Ice Maps Ice load loads map (Figures 10-2 thru 10-6 of ASCE 7-05 Code)

Program Assumptions and Limitations:

1. This program specifically follows Chapter 10.0, Ice Loads - Atmospheric Icing, of the ASCE 7-05 Standard,
"Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and Other Structures".
2. This program determines the ice loading based on the ASCE 7-05 Code defined circumscribed diameter for the
particular shape, and for comparison purposes, it also computes the ice loading based on the actual perimeter
of the shape.
3. This program uses the database of member dimensions and section properties from the AISC Version 13.0
"Shapes Database" CD-ROM Version (12/2005), as well as those listed in the AISC 13th Edition Manual of Steel
Construction (12/2005).
4. This program contains comment boxes which contain a wide variety of information including explanations of
input or output items, equations used, data tables, etc. (Note: presence of a comment box is denoted by a
red triangle in the upper right-hand corner of a cell. Merely move the mouse pointer to the desired cell to view
the contents of that particular "comment box".)
