E – 3011 Recommendations for Enhancing the Resilience of Single-Family and Two-Family Residential Buildings against Windstorms and Tornadoes
$50.00
Courses Included
The intent and objective of this course is to provide licensed design professional, practicing structural engineers, forensic structural engineers, consulting engineers, building officials, educators, students or/and a licensed general contractor a brief overview of building envelope and load path improvements to reduce damage to wood-framed, one- and two-family residential buildings when impacted by windstorms and tornadoes. This technical course presents guidance on improving windstorm and tornado resilience for these buildings. The information in this course can be applied to new construction or to the retrofit of existing residential structures in tornado-prone regions of the United States. Unfortunately, there are not a sufficient number of references dealing with this topic, so the course was designed to be an important guide for the structural engineers working in this field.
