This session will provide an overview of the design of Main Wind-Force Resisting Systems (MWFRS) in structures, their functions, and significance to wind resistance. We will delve into analytical methods including directional and envelope procedures, and explore comparative use cases, as well as discuss the latest research on these analytical methods. Additionally, we’ll address key design considerations, such as design equations and issues like torsion and irregular buildings. The session will conclude with a practical example problem using the SEAOC Wind Design Manual to illustrate MWFRS design in action.
