Wind Loads on NonBuilding Structures (Recording)

This session focuses on wind loads on non-building structures, including equipment, screenwalls, PV, and signs. The session discusses ASCE 7 wind load provisions for non-building structures and how to correctly apply them through examples. An in-depth exploration for engineering commonly encountered situations that are not directly addressed in the code. Sample topics include:

1. Horizontal and vertical components of wind load for rooftop equipment.
2. Wind load on rooftop equipment on buildings less than 60 feet and over 60 feet.
3. Rooftop screenwalls.
4. Signs.
5. Canopies.
6. Tall parapets.
7. Wind loads on trellises.

Attendees become more familiar with the ASCE 7 wind provisions for non-building structures. Further, attendees recognizes wind loads on non-building structures not specifically addressed in the code and obtain tools to help address these topics in their engineering designs.
