WIND PRESSURES on Windows / Doors ASCE 7-10

The 40 Year Recertification Ordinance was initially adopted by the Miami-Dade County Commission in 1975. It was replaced in 2001 by the current law which adopts the Florida Building Code and continues the requirement that buildings in Miami-Dade County after 40 years (and every 10 years thereafter) be re certified by a registered Florida Engineer or Architect for structural and electrical safety. This Ordinance applies to all of unincorporated Miami-Dade County and the incorporated Cities within the County.

OES Wind Analysis ASCE 7-05 1.0

OES Wind Analysis is a wind analysis program that analyzes pressures of roofs, windows, walls, and components to create a calculation spreadsheet printable.

It will be released very soon and will definitely help structural engineers with wind structural calculations.

It is crucial that structural engineers recognize that strengthening assessment and design is infinitely more complex than new construction. Typically, challenges arise because of unknown factors associated with the structural state - such as continuity, load path, and material properties - as well as the size and locations of existing reinforcement or pre-stressing.
