Designing Wood-Frame Structures for High Winds
Learning Objectives:
- Review the parameters for building wind load calculations per ASCE 7 and the International Building Code.
- Examine the three main types of building wind loads (uplift, in-plane, and out-of-plane) and design considerations associated with each.
- Discuss common wood-frame shear wall, diaphragm, and tie-down systems.
- Recognize the benefits of redundancy in wind-resisting wood-frame systems.
