Wind Resistant Design and Construction

Learn what to consider when designing and building a structure to possess the ability to withstand both wind and time.

Many builders, developers, and owners wish to utilize masonry construction in coastal, high wind environments. This product can be a great cladding for well-built waterfront or high wind locations when the owner knows what to look for regarding the inherent challenges using this material. Modern day brick relies on ties and hangers to support itself on the outside of a well-constructed wood framed building. Modern brick does not have the benefit of relying on mass to forgive variations of the water management specifications and small mistakes will magnify in these types of systems. This topic will leave you with a clear understanding of the important factors to consider when designing, owning, and building a structure to possess the ability to withstand both wind and time.

Learning Objectives

  • You will be able to identify well-built masonry veneer almost immediately upon visual inspection.
  • You will be able to explain the differences between quality construction as compared to those that are destined for construction defect and other challenges.
  • You will be able to discuss the most likely challenges and solutions in a coastal construction project.
  • You will be able to describe how to accurately inspect a job, plans, and finished product.
