Wind loading codes and standards are designed to provide reasonably reliable design for the majority of buildings and structures but they don’t cover unusual forms or, often, wind-sensitive components. On Tuesday, March 17th, join CPP Vice President Dr. Roy Denoon at The Institution of Structural Engineers in Glasgow as he presents “Wind Engineering – Beyond the Code.” Education about wind engineering can be sparse, and a large proportion of wind-induced failures result from unidentified wind-sensitivity during design. The presentation will examine code limitations and present examples of under-designed structures and components, as well as describe alternative design approaches.
