Every engineer knows that in order to achieve proficiency in Wind Analysis, he must first have a thorough knowledge of Trigonometry, Calculus, Rational Mechanics, Differential Equations, Structural Analysis, Structural Dynamics and Vibration Theory. To do that it may take years of hard work and practical application. Admittedly, nowadays he may buy a computer program which could do all that for him after he inputs the required descriptive parameters. However, it is important to keep in mind that doing so without a functional knowledge of the design basics may get him in trouble with his State Professional Engineering Board under charges of incompetence and unethical conduct.
As a solution to all above, this course offers the need to know basics on Wind Analysis for the busy engineer or architect, with examples of practical application and abundance of graphics to help achieve the learn through your eyes principles that will stay with him for years to come.
Practical examples of hand calculations are also offered for those who want to follow the motions of reasoned structural analysis.
This course includes a multiple-choice quiz at the end, which is designed to enhance the understanding of the course materials.
