CFSEI to Host Webinar on Frequently Misunderstood Wind Load Topics
The Cold-Formed Steel Engineers Institute (CFSEI) will host a webinar on “Frequently Misunderstood Wind Load Topics for Cold-Formed Steel Structures” on Thursday, February 4, 2021 from 3:00 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. EST. The webinar is designed for architects, engineers, building officials and contractors. Participants are eligible for 1.5 PDHs.
The webinar 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.
