May 20 – SJI Roof Bay Analysis Tool: Beyond the Basics
Price range: $95.00 through $495.00
Description
This webinar provides an in-depth look at advanced roof ponding evaluation for steel framing systems. Participants will review the key roof ponding stability requirements of ASCE/SEI 7-22 and gain clarity on when detailed ponding analysis is required in practice. The session will demonstrate how to use the SJI Roof Bay Analysis Tool to evaluate simple roof bays and then move into more advanced applications, including load-over-load joist systems and bays subjected to snow drift loading. Emphasis will be placed on understanding structural behavior, interpreting analysis results, and recognizing conditions that may lead to ponding instability. Through practical examples and step-by-step demonstrations, attendees will build confidence in applying the tool to real-world steel roof systems beyond routine design cases.
This webinar is provided by the Steel Joist Institute in partnership with the Steel Deck Institute (SDI). Participants can earn 1.5 PDHs.
