Understanding Wind Load (continued from Monday)

High wind damage analysis shows that the failure of roofs and walls in any structure are most often at the roof eaves and corners of the building. These two areas of the structure, then, should get the most amount of engineering attention so that the supporting components in these areas are more resistant to higher winds. These areas of high wind loading focus on a “salient corner” approach that typically pays greater engineering and reinforcing attention to the four corners of a building. As we continue to say, we at General Steel do not sell steel buildings that have shoddy workmanship. We know that you want the most for your money which is why we at General Steel make it a priority to deliver to you just that.
