Wind Uplift Design for Steel Joist and Steel Deck Roofs
$0.00 – $25.00
Description
This webinar will provide a comprehensive review of wind forces on steel joist and steel deck roof systems, including wind load determination, wind load combinations and wind load application. Specification, analysis and design to resist uplift loads will be a primary focus, but load paths and connections will also be touched on.
This webinar is provided by the Steel Joist Institute in partnership with the Steel Deck Institute. Participants can earn 1.5 PDHs.
Learning Objectives
- Learn how to apply ASCE 7 to determine which wind pressures to use when designing joists and deck.
- Learn the ways that steel deck is designed for both strength and anchorage to resist wind uplift.
- Learn the main considerations in designing an efficient joist system to resist wind uplift.
- Learn how to integrate steel deck and steel joists into a system that resists uplift efficiently.
