Wind Loads: Guide to the Wind Load Provisions of Asce 7-16 (Asce Press)

A comprehensive guide to the wind load provisions specified in the ASCE 7-16 standard, focusing on the safe design and construction of residential and commercial buildings. Authored by William L. Coulbourne and T. Eric Stafford, the text serves as a professional resource for navigating complex calculations related to velocity pressure, topographic factors, and aerodynamic responses. It details various analytical and simplified procedures for determining how wind affects main wind-force resisting systems and individual components or cladding. Through a series of practical examples, such as a 160-foot tall office building and a commercial warehouse, the guide illustrates the application of updated wind speed maps and risk categories. Ultimately, the document bridges the gap between theoretical engineering standards and the practical requirements of structural design in diverse environmental conditions.Get the Book now from Amazon:https://www.amazon.com/Wind-Loads-Guide-Load-Provisions/dp/0784415269?&linkCode=ll2&tag=cvthunderx-20&linkId=0ac6eed515a57ee53e6d11bce386592e&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tlYou can listen and download our episodes for free on more than 10 different platforms:https://linktr.ee/civil_engineering_made_simpleProduced by:https://www.podcaistudio.com/
