Learn about the engineering details of post-frame design and building examples in this webinar!  

The National Frame Building Association (NFBA) offers a specialized educational program through their Post-Frame Advantage Online University, designed to help participants learn about the engineering design process for non-diaphragm post-frame structures. Through free monthly online seminars, the NFBA aims to provide valuable resources and knowledge to both newcomers and experienced professionals in the post-frame industry. 

One of the standout sessions, titled “Non-Diaphragm Post-Frame Structural Design Examples: Engineering Details,” was led by University of Missouri Extension professor Joseph M. Zulovich, Ph.D., who shared insights from the NFBA's Non-Diaphragm Post-Frame Design Guide. The course covered the foundational concepts and engineering principles essential to understanding non-diaphragm post-frame structures. Joseph’s presentation focused on lateral force resisting systems (LFRS), a critical component in non-diaphragm post-frame building systems (PFBS). The instructor detailed the key features and identifiers of these systems, offering practical examples from the textbook and discussing their application in real-world scenarios. 

The seminar provided a comprehensive overview, suitable for both beginners and seasoned engineers, offering a solid grounding in the fundamentals while also exploring advanced topics. Participants are sure to easily follow Joseph's clear and accessible teaching style, which made complex engineering concepts more approachable. Additionally, the course highlighted the utility of the Non-Diaphragm Post-Frame Design Guide as a valuable resource for ongoing learning and reference. 

Overall, the NFBA's online program serves as an excellent opportunity to gain expertise in post-frame structures, making it easier for industry professionals and newcomers to stay updated on the latest engineering techniques and design strategies. 

Watch the recorded online seminar to learn more about non-diaphragm post-frame building designs and the engineering behind them!
