Wind Design Provisions of the Hawaii State Building Code - Maui

TRAINING DESCRIPTION
In this training, participants are introduced to the wind speed design mapping and technical provisions that have been developed as Hawaii code amendments to the International Building Code (IBC), based on requirements of the ASCE/SEI 7 Standard wind load provisions. This training provides understandable explanations of the intent and overview of the Hawaii special wind region’s requirements for wind design, as incorporated in the Hawaii State Building Code and county amendments.

TARGET AUDIENCE
Architects, engineers, state and county building officials, federal agencies with construction projects in Hawaii, as well as decision-makers in the insurance and financial communities, and building plan examiners and construction inspectors.
