This hands-on resource fully explains wind-resistant engineering methods for low-rise and standard multi-story buildings
Interpret building codes for wind loads and implement them in the design of low-rise and standard multi-story buildings using the hands-on information contained in this comprehensive guide. The book provides easy-to-follow summaries of complex regulations and shows how to apply the corresponding design procedures in structural building elements and adjacent structural components.
Building Design for Wind Forces: A Guide to ASCE 7-16 Standards breaks down the wind-related building codes found in ASCE 7-16 and clearly explains the latest methods that you can use to design and construct safer buildings that will withstand wind forces. You will get complete discussions on recent developments such as wind speed risk categorization and wind tunnel testing.
•Fully aligns with the wind code provisions found in ASCE 7-16
•Detailed examples show how to implement each technique in real-world projects
•Written by a structural design consultant and experienced author
