Description

The ASCE 7 Standard provides prescriptive provisions for determining wind loads on regular shaped buildings. Practitioners are tasked with designing a wide variety of building structures, that don't always fit exactly within the provisions of the standard. This session will provide guidance on applying the wind provisions to a variety of building shapes and components by understanding how wind pressures and pressure coefficients relate to wind flow around a building. Additional design guides will be discussed, and examples will be presented. This presentation was developed by the NCSEA Wind Engineering Committee.

Course will award 1.25 hour of continuing education
This course is Diamond Review approved in 49 states. New York does not accept hours from recordings.

Please note: This webinar is part of the NCSEA Webinar Subscription.
