The Steel Joist Institute (SJI) is offering a webinar: “Wind Design Considerations for Joists and Joist Girders.”
The webinar provides a comprehensive review of wind forces on steel joist and joist girder roof systems including wind load determination, wind load combinations, and wind load applications. Specification, analysis, and design to resist uplift loads are a primary focus. Also, the webinar covers load paths and connections for wind moment frames, collectors, and braces.
Learning objectives include:
- Attendees will review appropriate load combinations involving wind.
- Appropriate load paths for wind forces are discussed.
- Tips are provided for connection details for the transfer of wind forces.
- Attendees are advised of two new developments affecting wind design.
