These lecture notes provide a case-based exploration of wind load analysis and steel design for a specific bus terminal canopy, using the ASCE 7-22 for wind load calculations and AISC standards for steel design. The notes cover essential topics, including wind pressure estimation, member selection, and connection detailing, offering practical insights into the design challenges and engineering considerations unique to this particular canopy project.

These lecture notes are a work in progress, with new lectures being added on a monthly basis until the course is complete.
