DESCRIPTION
This helpful guide focuses on the wind load provisions of Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and Other Structures,
Standard ASCE/SEI 7-10, that affect the planning, design, and construction of buildings for residential and commercial
purposes. The 2010 revision of the Standard significantly reorganized the wind load provisions, expanding them from one
to six chapters. Simplified methods of performing calculations for common situations were added to the Standard, and
guidelines for components and cladding were gathered in a single chapter.
Wind Loads provides users with tools and insight to apply the Standard in everyday practice. This revised and updated
guide introduces readers to the relevant sections of the Standard and provides a comprehensive overview of the design
procedures and the new wind speed maps. Ten chapters with 14 worked examples demonstrate the appropriate use of
analytical and simplified procedures for calculating wind loads for a variety of common structure types. The guide also
answers more than 30 frequently asked questions, grouped by topic.
This book is an essential reference for practicing structural engineers, as it offers the most authoritative and in-depth
interpretation of the wind loads section of Standard ASCE/SEI 7-10.
