Why Most Engineers Struggle With Wind Loads

Walking into your first structural engineering job, you feel prepared.

You even brought all your relevant college books to create your own office library.

But then you hit a wall—the complex world of wind load calculations.

The code is dense.
The tables are confusing.
Pressure coefficients seem to change with every diagram.

And no one really explains why anything works the way it does.

Before long, you’re spending hours flipping through ASCE 7, second-guessing every calculation and hoping your spreadsheet is right — all while trying not to look lost in front of your team.

You're Not Alone!

I remember the first time I had to calculate wind pressures for a simple canopy on a parking garage.

I spent hours digging through a spreadsheet that gave me the “right” answers…
but I had no idea why the numbers turned out that way.

Like most engineers, I had to teach myself wind loads from scratch — slowly, painfully, and often with zero confidence.

After years of practice (and a lot of mistakes), I realized something important:

Very few resources teach structural engineers how to derive wind loads and apply them correctly to real buildings.

That’s why I built this course — to help you shortcut the years of confusion and finally feel confident in your wind load skills.

INTRODUCING

 Decoding Wind Loads 

A complete, self-paced training designed for structural engineers who want to derive and apply wind loads with confidence using ASCE 7.

 After taking this course, you will:

  • Feel confident and equipped to derive and apply wind loads on a full building using hand calculations.
  • Know all the necessary steps to fully derive and apply wind loads, eliminating the need to rely on black-box software or complicated templates.
  • Understand the meaning behind every wind load equation in ASCE 7, allowing you to navigate wind load provisions with ease.

I’m a Professional Engineer in Florida with years of experience applying and reviewing wind load calculations for real-world structures. Early in my career, I struggled to understand wind loads — flipping through ASCE 7, second-guessing my numbers, and relying on spreadsheets I didn’t fully understand.

Over time, I studied ASCE 7 in depth and learned how to derive and apply wind loads with clarity and confidence.

Now I teach engineers like you how to master wind load analysis, avoid guesswork, and design with confidence using ASCE 7.

What Other Engineers are Saying

"This course was well worth the time and cost. As a retired engineer freelancing part-time, I learned more from this course than in my entire 40 year career."

David Yates, PE

Retired Structural Engineer with 40 years of experience, part-time freelancer

"The Decoding Wind Loads course helped to break down the wind provisions in the code while understanding why they exist in the first place. RĂ´mulo demonstrates his deep understanding of wind loads by giving practical examples. He also had astute and helpful responses to my questions. Great experience overall!"

Aaron Kostrzewa, PE

Managing Partner at Kosco Engineering Group, PLLC

"Before the course I didn't have a lot of understanding about ASCE 7. After the course I was able to navigate through the code and understand where tables, numbers and equations were coming from. The part that helped me the most was the part that RĂ´mulo used real examples. I would definitely recommend anyone to do his course."

Victor

Structural Engineer in Boston, MA

"I’ve been following Romulo for the past few years through his YouTube channel and have always appreciated how generously he gives back to the engineering community. When I learned he had developed a wind design course, signing up was an easy decision. As engineers, staying current is essential—yet often difficult with so many competing demands on our time. Romulo’s course provided the perfect opportunity to take a focused deep dive into wind design, something I’d been meaning to do on my own but could never carve out the time for. I highly recommend this course to anyone looking to expand their knowledge or refresh their understanding of wind design. You won’t be disappointed."
