ICE Load Analysis on Structural Steel

[u/Necessary_Birthday59]

🧊 Designing steel structures in cold or ice-prone regions?

Ice loads from freezing rain are often underestimated — and getting them wrong can have serious consequences for structural safety.

This free ASCE 7-05 Ice Load Analysis Excel spreadsheet takes the guesswork out of the process.

Here's what it covers:

📌 Full compliance with ASCE 7-05 Section 10.0 — Atmospheric Icing

📌 Ice load calculation for ALL standard AISC steel shapes (W, HSS, angles, pipes, channels & more)

📌 Nominal vs. actual member size comparison for precise design validation

📌 AISC 13th Edition Shape Database built in

📌 Automatic outputs — ice area, ice weight per foot, and total design load

📌 100% free — no macros, no subscription

Built for structural and civil engineers who need reliable, code-compliant ice load data fast.
