Description

The ponding provisions that were in Appendix 2 of the AISC Specification are not in the 2022 edition, and ASCE 7 now requires ponding head be included in the rain load. Old approaches to ponding analysis are no longer permitted. AISC and SJI have a new Design Guide to help engineers navigate the new requirements. This session will review requirements for rain load and ponding in various specifications and codes, introduce a method of design for ponding that meets the requirements, and run through design examples to show how it all fits together.

This webinar is provided by the Steel Joist Institute. Participants can earn 1.5 PDHs.
