TLC CEU Seminar

How does the new FBC affect wind design for architects?

THIS EVENT HAS BEEN CANCELLED

Details: Why did the wind maps change? How does this affect my curtain wall design? How does it affect roof overhangs? Is the wind code more or less conservative than the previous code? How does it affect parapets? The wind load provisions have undergone a substantial reorganization to improve the clarity of applicability for the various design methods and procedures with the recent change to the Florida Building Code. We will address these and other questions regarding wind. This is a “can’t miss” AIA CEU opportunity for architects, code officials, and others involved in the design of buildings in Florida! Please note that this seminar is not part of the Advanced Building Code Seminar.
