Wind forces always influence building design and detailing. This course focuses on one particular force, wind uplift, and its influence on roof paving system design and selection. It examines how wind loads and building configuration affect the design of roof paving systems; the codes, regulations, and calculation approaches that inform and control such designs; and the various options designers can use to design safe, appealing outdoor roof paving systems that will withstand even the strongest winds.

Upon completion of this course, the Learner should be able to:

  • Identify where wind forces are strongest when designing rooftop patios.
  • Recall the relevant design criteria and applicable codes related to calculating wind uplift forces.
  • Specify the appropriate tests to ensure a safe and stable paver installation.
  • Identify and specify the most effective wind uplift resistant system for each roofing project.
  • Detail wind uplift lockdown systems, including edge restraints and parapet wall securements.

Approximately 1 hour. Delivered online, at your own pace.
