Significant Changes to the Wind Load Design Procedures of ASCE 7-10

NEW WEBINAR!

Current building codes require all buildings and structures to be designed and constructed to resist the applicable design wind loads. For the vast majority of the U.S., the design wind loads are determined in accordance with the applicable provisions of ASCE 7. This webinar will address the significant changes in the wind load design procedures of the 2010 Edition of ASCE 7 Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and Other Structures. The implications to strength design and allowable stress design resulting from the new strength design-level wind speed maps will be discussed. A new simplified procedure for Main Wind-Force Resisting System (MWFRS) and Component and Cladding loads has been added for buildings up to 160 feet high. The design of the MWFRS is now specifically covered by two Design Procedures: Directional Procedure and Envelope Procedure. A corresponding simplified method is provided for each procedure. This webinar will also address the changes to the Envelope Procedure (formerly the MWFRS provisions for low-rise buildings of Method 2 in ASCE 7-05) and discuss the causes for improper application and interpretation of this method in ASCE 7-05 and ASCE 7-02. The webinar will conclude with a discussion on the refinements to the provisions for roof overhangs, signs, rooftop structures, and the minimum design wind loads.

ASCES STRUCTURAL ENGINEERING INSTITUTE

SEI was created in 1996 to serve the unique needs of the structural engineering community more effectively while also being their voice on broader issues that shape the entire civil engineering community. The mission of the Structural Engineering Institute (SEI) is to advance and serve the structural engineering profession. It has 20,000 members and strives to advance its members careers, stimulates technological advancement, and improves professional practice.

(Brief discussion)

You will gain an in-depth understanding of the changes to the wind load design procedures in ASCE 7-10, and how these changes will impact the design of buildings for wind loads. You will also learn the rationale for making the changes discussed.

REGISTRATION FEES* $249 Member $299 Non-Member Special Offer on Webinars: Have less than 5 engineers in your organization? ASCE Members who are employed by organizations with less than five engineers can participate in webinars at a reduced rate. Use promotional code LESS10 when registering to receive $100 off.
*Fees per seminar site. Pay one site registration fee and an unlimited number of people in your organization can attend the seminar at that site. The single site registration fee for ASCEs live, web seminars is intended to be an easy, affordable way to provide training for multiple employees in your organization. Your single site registration fee provides you with a site license for one computer log-in to the seminar and one toll free phone call to access the audio portion of the seminar. Long distance charges will apply for attendees outside of the U.S. The site license provided to you by the single site registration fee does not permit you to have multiple log-ins or phone calls from your site or to transmit this information to another site.
