ASCE 7 Calculator

Create A new Calculation
 
Uplift calculations are prepared based on ASCE 7 2010 Standards. Due to unknown variables associated with each roofing system and structure, Carlisle disclaims responsibility concerning the accuracy of these calculated results, the relevance of the results to the performance of the installed roofing system and the appropriate use of the program for any geographic location. A licensed engineer should verify the results.
