Roofing – Flexible Membrane Wind Load Design

Upon completion of this course you will understand: how to estimate design wind speed based on geographical areas  the different areas of the roof that must be analyzed for wind loading including the perimeter corners ridge and field the four different categories of building exposure which are influenced by the terrain surrounding a building how wind loading changes during the construction process and how to include these factors into the design how to compute uplift pressure from wind and how to use the standard tables from the Single-Ply Roofing Institute how to extrapolate known test information to apply to a situation that does not fit the test data
