2023 BES: Changes to the Wind Load Provisions and How to Implement Strategies in a Re-Roofing Project Design ($95.00 Member/$110.00 Non-member)

Existing Building Wind Design in ASCE 7-16: Changes to the Wind Load Provisions and How to Implement Strategies in a Re-Roofing Project Design

Course Overview
This session was originally presented at the 2023 IIBEC Building Enclosure Symposium in Orlando, Florida. This course includes the recording of the session, a summative assessment consisting of 10 multiple-choice questions, and surveys required to claim continuing education credit.

Description
ASCE 7-16 contains significant changes from ASCE 7-10 in the areas of seismic design, wind design, and snow design, along with a new chapter on design against tsunami loads. Several of the seismic chapters have been extensively rewritten. As ASCE 7 eventually becomes law through adoption by the International Building Code (IBC) and then through legal building codes of local jurisdiction adopting IBC’s standards, a practicing engineer must be diligent to keep up with these changes. On the East coast of the United States, wind design controls most of the roofing design of a building, as well as strict design parameters.
