Structural Air: Engineering Considerations for Inflatables and Air-Supported Structures (Room S210D)

02 Oct 19
11:00 AM - 11:50 AM

Tracks: Case Study Sessions, Classroom Education

Speaker(s): J. David Bowick, P.Eng., Senior Principal, Blackwell Structural Engineers

This presentation will introduce participants to the various types of air-supported structures used in buildings with some historical background. Engineering principals used in the design will be presented as well as a road map for their use, including relevant codes, software and some of the major players in the industry. Participants will gain a level of comfort with using inflatable structures and an understanding of their behavior.
