Objectives

• The Wind Design Loads course is designed to help

and/or refresh to all type of participants to identify and
calculates the minimum design dead, live, wind loads,
and loads combinations according to the ASCE7-10.
• The participant should be able to recognize and
understand the foundations of wind design loads
according to the ASCE7-10.
• The participant should be able to clearly identify the
minimum loads requirements for building loads
according to the ASCE7-10.
• The participant will be guided with step by step
instructions and examples for obtaining the minimum
design loads.
