This multi-part series provides an overview of the 2021 International Residential Code (IRC) structural provisions for engineers. Focusing on wood construction, the course addresses gravity and lateral loads on residential structures. Prescriptive solutions for floor, roof, and wall systems are described to help engineers understand where engineering is required. Part 1 provides an overview of the scope and limitations of the IRC. Chapters 1 through 3 will be discussed, emphasizing areas where engineering is required.

Speaker Bios

Sandra Hyde, P.E. is Managing Director of Product Development for the International Code Council (ICC) where she develops books and seminars about the structural provisions of the International Residential Code (IRC), International Building Code (IBC), International Existing Building Code (IEBC) and structural topics. Sandra has coauthored books and seminars on these topics including the Special Inspection Manual and the Significant Changes to the IRC and IBC. She has experience in manufacturing and research of engineered wood products with Weyerhaeuser. Sandra is a Registered Civil Engineer and a member of EERI and NCSEA.

Dave Sparks has been working in the residential engineering and construction industry since 1998 after graduating from the University of Arizona in August of 1997 with a Bachelor’s Degree in Civil Engineering with a structural emphasis. He started as an associate engineer in training at Bingham Engineering in Phoenix, Arizona before joining the newly formed Felten Group, Inc. in 2001. He obtained his California PE in 2003 and then his Arizona SE in 2006. During his tenure at Felten Group, Dave has developed many design aides and AutoCAD customizations using Excel, VBA, C#, and Visual Studio .NET. Many of which must be maintained to stay current with changes in the model building codes as they are reissued. Dave has engineered structures in over half of the states around the country from hurricane prone regions of the east coast to the seismically controlled regions of the west coast. Dave has taught several classes both for the Arizona Building Officials meetings (AZBO) and Sacramento Valley Building Officials (SVaBO) meetings including Wall Bracing from the IRC, Changes to the ASCE7-16 Wind Provisions, Forensic Engineering, Inspection Nightmares, The Devil Isn’t the Only Thing in the Details, and Truss Calculations from an Engineer’s Perspective. Dave is an avid runner and enjoys being outdoors as much as possible. Skiing/Snowboarding in the winter as well as wakeboarding in the summer.
