Code Search Software
Calculate structural loadings for the International Building Code (2000 - 2021), ASCE 7 (1998 - 2016) & NFPA 5000 plus state codes based on these codes such as California, Florida, Ohio, etc. The program calculates wind, seismic, rain, snow, snow drift and LL reductions. It also has a dead and live load generator. Excel 2007 or later is required.
Key Benefits
- One program for all building codes (all of the above listed codes in one program). You don't have to maintain multiple programs for different code versions.
- ASCE 7 Wind Loads - all surfaces and square foot cases without multiple entries. Claculates wind forces at floors. Also includes signs, tanks, chimneys, solar panels and other structures. (IBC & other codes are just tabulated versions of ASCE 7)
- ASCE 7 / IBC Snow Loads - includes rain surcharge, unbalanced loading and drift loading.
- ASCE 7 / IBC Seismic Loads - includes base shear and diaphragm force distribution at floors.
- ASCE 7 / IBC Rain Loads
- Dead Load Generator - for floor and roof dead loads.
- Live Load Generator - floor & roof live loads including live load reduction.

Single computer vs Site / Multiple User License:
The multiuser license is an Excel file with no
limitations (except worksheets are protected). The single computer license requires Excel, but is an
executable file locked to one computer and only one computer. There are also
several other limitations. Please read the limitations before ordering.

MAC Computer users:
The single user version will not run on a MAC. You need to order a site license. Also specify in your ordering instructions that you want the MAC version. Only the Code Search program is available for MAC computers.
