2023 CFSEI EXPO | MAY 8-10, 2023 | NEW ORLEANS, LOUISIANA

Frequently Misunderstood Wind Load Topics for Cold-Formed Steel Structures

The session will focus on wind provisions of ASCE 7/ IBC (International Building Code) that are frequently misunderstood or incorrectly applied with a particular emphasis on cold-formed steel structures, including building enclosure classification, torsional wind design, wind load analysis methods, canopies, rooftop screen walls, and effective wind area. It will also focus on ASCE 7-16 changes and explore the future of wind design.
