I developed a Python function to calculate closed form exact values for wind forces and wind CGs.

I use only calculus — no bar charts with 0′ to 15′, 20′ to 25′, et cetera —- a curve rather than a step function. I present derivations and examples.

ASCE 7-16 Ice Loading Apr 2018

Although ice loading is written as a simple formula, the formula varies with structural geometry (W, T, C, etc). I haven’t seen it automated in software.
