Course Title: Designing to Withstand Tornadic Loads on Buildings with ASCE 7-22

Delivery Method: Live Online

Course Description: This course examines design requirements, standards and best practices for designing buildings to withstand loads produced by tornadoes and other high-wind events. Topics include ASCE 7-22, classification of structures, design requirements for risk category III and IV buildings, and managing tornadic wind loads and impact loads on buildings.

Learning Objectives:

Learning Objective 1:
Learners will be able to define what is and is not a tornadic load, and explain how ASCE 7 standards have evolved and been adopted to address loads on buildings from high-wind events.

Learning Objective 2:
Learners will be able to reference and discuss ASCE 7-22’s hazard maps and explain how a building’s risk categorization is determined.

Learning Objective 3:
Learners will be able to comply with design requirements for risk category III and IV buildings.

Learning Objective 4:
Learners will be able to identify code provisions, materials and components to manage tornadic wind and impact loads on buildings.
