Using the correct wind classification is critical in ensuring a building is designed to comply with the applicable local building standards. In Australia, the two standards that apply are the AS/NZS 1170.2:2021: Structural design actions, Part 2: Wind actions and the AS 4055: 2021: Residential Wind Actions.
However, calculating wind loads for a residential building can be difficult and time-consuming. The parameters that go into wind calculations such as topographic parameters, shielding parameters, and terrain categories are often obtained based on guesstimates and may result in potentially unsafe or costly outcomes during or after the build.
Join Brooks Smith, ClearCalcs' Head of Engineering R&D, on Wednesday, May 24th, 2023, from 12 pm to 1 pm Australian Eastern Standard Time (AEST) in this 2-webinar series on Wind Assessments Standards for residential buildings in Australia.
In the first part of the series, Brooks will give an overview of the AS/NZS 1170.2:2021: Structural design actions, Part 2: Wind actions. We will discuss some of the key changes in the latest AS/NZS 1170.2 compared to the previous edition and do a deep dive into the procedures of wind load calculations.
