Description
View Important System Requirements for viewing this course.
The newest edition of ASCE 7-10 includes many significant technical and organizational changes to the General Requirements for Determining Wind Loads from the 2005 Edition (ASCE 7-05). This webinar addresses many of those significant changes. The General Requirements include the basic wind speed maps, exposure categories, enclosure classification, gust effects, directionality factor, among others. The wind load provisions have undergone a substantial reorganization to improve the clarity of applicability for the various design methods and procedures. The reorganization concepts in addition to transition tools will be discussed. The basic wind speed maps have been updated to reflect strength design-level wind speeds while also incorporating newly available data. The impact of the new wind speed maps, in addition to correlation with allowable stress design will be thoroughly discussed. Additionally, the new wind speed maps necessitated a recalibration of the wind-borne debris region. These changes, along with many others will be covered in this webinar.This webinar is co-sponsored by ASCE's Structural Engineering Institute and ASCE Continuing Education.
