Wind Design Series Part #1 | Introduction to the Wind Design Manual, Enclosure Classification, and Topographic Effects

Introduction to the Wind Design Manual includes a summary of each of the problems and the authors. It will follow with a deep dive into Design Example 1, which explores the intricacies of Enclosure Classification and internal pressures. The presentation will also cover what constitutes an opening, how to deal with unique geometries, and changes to these provisions in ASCE 7-16. Topographic Effects starts with a review of why wind speed up effects occur and how wind design pressures are affected by topography. Next, the ASCE7-22 Topographic method will be discussed in detail with site examples and tricks to easily evaluate topography.
