What you’ll learn:
Design wind pressure on doors and windows and how the size of the opening can impact the net wind pressure on wall and roof surfaces
Design wind pressure on wall claddings and supporting structures and how to calculate localized wind pressures on walls claddings
Design wind pressure on roof claddings and supporting structures and how to calculate localized wind pressures on roof claddings
Evaluating the impact of the big openings on internal and net wind pressure on cladding surfaces of the roof and walls
How wind pressure changes along the roof and long walls
Summary of the net wind pressure on different areas of the roof
Requirements:
WATCH THE FIRST PART OF THIS COURSE “Design Wind Pressures on a Steel Structure Warehouse – Part 1”
Description:
In the two parts of the course, I will explain the full and detailed process of calculating the design wind pressures for structural members and cladding surfaces of the walls and roof of a steel-framed warehouse.
The assessment of wind loads for the design of structures is based on Australia/New Zealand standard AS1170.2 however the general concept remains the same for every other code.
AS1170 has a very detailed and comprehensive process for calculating wind pressures.
There are so many parameters and requirements in the code which often leaves people with some confusion and question marks on how to approach these. so I have decided to prepare this course to provide a clear roadmap for anyone who wants to learn the process step by step.
