Calculating Wind Loads on Buildings Using the Envelope Procedure of ASCE 7-22 Code
This online engineering PDH course offers a comprehensive guide on calculating wind loads on buildings using the Envelope Procedure.
This course covers the use of the Envelope Procedure of ASCE 7-22 to compute wind loads on low-rise buildings. It explores in detail the proper way to apply the calculated loads to building structures, ensuring compliance with the standard’s requirements. Several worked examples are provided to demonstrate the calculation process both manually and through software tools commonly used by professionals. In addition, this course provides sufficient information for engineers to correctly understand and apply the ASCE 7-22 wind load provisions. Given the limited availability of references on this subject, this course has been developed as a valuable guide for engineers working in the field of wind load analysis and design.
This 2 PDH online course is applicable to structural and civil engineers and other technical professionals interested in learning more about the Envelop Procedure for wind analysis and design.
This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:
- Understanding the importance of wind load calculations and checks for building structures
