Adapting ASCE 7 Wind Design Provisions to the Design of Real-Life Buildings
There is very little usable information currently available concerning wind loads on “real-life” buildings with all their irregularities, offsets, and unique configurations. This seminar is designed to fill that gap in a significant way. Different building shapes are presented and associated wind loads are explained, exploring wind flow patterns and the physics of the situation. ASCE 7-10 wind load provisions are discussed with emphasis on the following:
- Where they fall short and where they do an adequate job.
- How to apply them to “real” buildings that do not have the rectangular shape often assumed by ASCE 7.
