During strong wind events, building roofs are subjected to high wind uplift forces (suctions), which often lead to severe roofing component damage, or even roof total failure, flying debris, and water ...

This paper surveys the rapidly growing field of performance-based wind engineering (PBWE) of engineered systems, with focus on not only how PBWE has evolved since its early incarnations inspired by ...

Design of wood structures to resist wind loads requires correct use of provisions such as those in the Wood Frame Construction Manual (WFCM). To aid building design/construction professionals, the ...

One of wood’s key characteristics is its ability to carry substantially greater maximum loads for short durations—as is the case during high winds. The objective is to design a 5.8-m (19-ft) tall ...

This three-part webinar series discusses how to use the wind load provisions of ASCE 7-22 Minimum Design Loads and Associated Criteria for Buildings and Other Structures. The series will cover the ...
