Determining the correct loading on your structure is one of the most important steps to getting an accurate and safe design, but calculating the correct tributary width and entering it into software can be a real pain.
Join our residential structural expert, Laurent Gérin as he shares practical examples for how to easily calculate a broad range of tributary and load widths you may encounter on your projects, and how to then use the incredibly flexible load entry tools in ClearCalcs to ensure you get a great design quickly.
The webinar begins with an introduction and explanation of the purpose, followed by a discussion on tributary width and its application in load distribution. Laurent provided examples and demonstrates how to calculate tributary widths using ClearCalcs software. He addressed questions about live load reductions and mention that ClearCalcs is working on adding a shear wall calculator for the US. Users are encouraged to provide suggestions and questions, and information is provided on accessing the support page for additional resources and assistance.
