Course Description: Testing and performance standards for hurricane impact and cyclic pressure testing were established in the mid 1990’s and have now been referenced in coastal building codes for over 20 years. Great progress has been made in protecting people and property. This course will share examples of how buildings have fared under these performance standards and how to leverage this knowledge to make buildings safer. Despite the improvements, there is still work to do in reducing the level of damage inflicted by hurricanes.

Learning Objectives:

• At the end of this course, participants will be able to:
• Based on hurricane case studies, identify specific design challenges for buildings to remain functional during and after a hurricane.
• Understand the requirements for Wind-Borne Debris protection in the 2018 & 2021 International Building Code.
• Distinguish differences in ASCE 7–10 Vs. ASCE 7–16, and how they affect wind loads and design pressures.
• Recognize regional differences by comparing new requirements for Florida, Texas and the northeast
