ASCE 7-10 Wind Design Provisions
This seminar addresses all substantive changes made to the wind design provisions of ASCE 7-10, Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and Other Structures, from the 2005 edition. This is the perfect "next step" seminar for those who attended the ASCE 7-10 Overview web seminar. This two-hour seminar dedicates the time necessary to analyze and fully explain the major changes found in ASCE 7-10 Chapters 26-31. Wind design has changed more substantially than any time since the publication of ASCE 7-95. The reorganization of the wind provisions are discussed and the changes to the wind maps and the corresponding changes to the load factors are explained. In addition, the new simplified version of the general analytical procedure under Method 2, which is applicable to buildings of all heights, is addressed.

Dr. S. K. Ghosh is known internationally for his work in earthquake engineering. He has influenced seismic design provisions in the United States for many years by serving on or chairing numerous committees and advisory panels. He specializes in the analysis and design, including wind and earthquake resistant design, of reinforced and prestressed concrete structures. Dr. Ghosh is active on many national technical committees and is a fellow of ASCE, SEI, ACI, and PCI. He is a member of ACI Committee 318, Standard Building Code, and the ASCE 7 Standard Committee (Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and Other Structures). He is a former member of the Boards of Direction of the Building Seismic Safety Council (BSSC), the American Concrete Institute (ACI), and the Earthquake Engineering Research Institute (EERI). In addition to authoring many publications in the area of structural design, he has investigated and reported on structural performance in recent earthquakes.
