Spring Interchange – Training Track 5: Ever-Changing Structural Provisions of Our Building Codes – Wind

This session is about major, far-reaching changes in the wind provisions of U.S. codes and standards over the last three decades or so. This will include the very substantive changes in wind design provisions from ASCE 7-16 to ASCE 7-22, which are reflected in the IBC. This is a chance to review where we have been and gives us an appreciation of the present with the insight of someone who has long been intimately involved in the structural code development process. The major topics covered are:
