Phase I. 4 groups of students (2 or 3 in each) will study the following topics:
1. Specified Wind Load for Building Main Structure
2. Specified Wind Load for Building Wall Cladding
3. Specified Seismic Load for Building Main Structure
4. Specified Seismic Load for Building Wall Cladding
Phase II. First Group joins with Third whereas Second Group joins with Forth to conduct the following:
1. Comparative Analysis - Specified Wind Load vs Specified Seismic Load for Building Main Structure
2. Comparative Analysis - Specified Wind Load vs Specified Seismic Load for Building Wall Cladding
Phase III. All participating students join to compare Main Structure and Wall Cladding (design concepts and methods for calculating specified loads - from NBCC 2020) and to write the Final Paper.
To accomplish this, we expect the student(s) will:
- Data research and analysis.
- Report.
- Presentation.
Ultimately, you will help to improve our company products supporting growth.
The next phase of this project - is the development of an automated Excel Spreadsheet for Specified Loads on Wall Cladding to NBC2020 (Freeware Utility for Canadian Structural Engineers)
If you like the sound of our culture and are ready to tackle this challenge with us, then we'd love to hear from you.
Supervision, mentorship, and technical support will be available.
About the company
We believe our team can bring a new perspective to design and operations that will reduce the environmental footprint of any project with a positive impact on the costs and socio-economics.
