WIND-STR-001 : Estimation of Wind Force for LOW RISE Structures as per IS 875 (PART 3) : 2015

Brief about the course

Wind forces & pressures are important in the design of structures being frequently occurring phenomenon. The fundamental IS code related to wind forces (IS 875- Pt. 3) was revised in 2015 and two amendments have been so far issued. It generated few practical difficulties and there are few clauses of the code on which discussion is required. With an objective to resolve some of the practical difficulties, the online course WIND-STR-001 is launched.   

The course will focus on wind force estimation for low rise structures as per IS 875 (Part 3):2015.  The course will include important aspects like wind characteristics, pressure coefficients, wind force estimation for shed type of structure, multi span structure, domed roof, hoardings, etc. The course will also cover wind tunnel testing requirements for estimation of wind forces for low rise structures.

By purchasing the course, you will get access to recording of previous online course WIND-STR-001. There are total 8 recorded sessions (each session~1hr+ duration). Access of the videos will be available for 90 days from the enrollment.
