This session will highlight unique requirements for hurricane-prone coastal regions, including issues with design pressure and wind-borne debris requirements.
Join us to examine relevant building code requirements and testing standards. Plus, through a real-world example, discover how wind-load requirements are determined under the International Residential Code.
Learning Objectives
- Examine various methods of providing opening protection.
- Compare ASTM and Florida impact-resistant test standards to uncover similarities and differences.
- Analyze building code requirements for impact resistance and opening protection for coastal areas.
- Learn how to assess wind loads and calculate requirements for a simple project.
