NCSEA-SEAOC Wind Design Webinar Series Day 3: Components and Cladding (C&C)

This session provides a deep dive into Components and Cladding (C&C) wind loads, distinguishing them from MWFRS loads and explaining their significance in building performance. Attendees will learn calculation methodologies for C&C loads and explore design considerations such as corner and edge zones, parapets, and effective wind areas. Using SEAOC Wind Design Manual examples, the session will demonstrate best practices for designing cladding, roofing, and façade elements to withstand wind loads.

• Course will award 1.5 hour of continuing education
• This course is Diamond Review approved in 49 states. New York does not accept hours from recordings.
