Tom Shingler , P.E. , President ,Design Dynamics , IncRichardson , TX
Join Tom as he presents research findings on the extreme reduction of wind uplift pressures realized with air-permeable architectural metal roof systems.Imagine reducing the tremendous and unusual structural stresses related to high wind load.Learn how these findings , which consider a more efficient and accurate approach in the determination of wind pressure , can make your project safer , easier and less expensive.Tom will address ASCE7 considerations , test methodology , test results and resulting wind equation adjustments.
Tom Shingler , P.E. , is President of Design Dynamics , Inc.He is a registered structural engineer in 20 states with 36 years of testing , analysis and design experience.He lectures extensively on roof and wall systems and holds patents in both fields.
