This course is no longer registered with NCSEA Diamond Review for continuing professional education. Identify and detail high capacity shear walls and diaphragms.Įquivalencies: 1.5 Hours of Instruction = 0.15 Continuing Education Units (CEU) = 1.5 Learning Units (LU).Identify and design for local stresses in fastener groups.Obtain resources for complying with wood connection engineering issues.Be able to understand overlooked wood connection engineering issues.Examples include NDS Appendix E Local Stresses in Fastener Groups, NDS 3.4.3.3 shear design of members at connections, resources for power-driven fasteners such as ISANTA ESR 1539, and detailing requirements for high capacity shear walls and diaphragms. These requirements will be discussed as well as resources and examples to meet these requirements. Based on numerous help desk questions and feedback from design professionals, AWC has identified some of the most commonly overlooked wood connection engineering requirements from the NDS and SDPWS. The American Wood Council’s (AWC) National Design Specification® (NDS®) for Wood Construction and Special Design Provisions for Wind and Seismic (SDPWS) are documents referenced in US building codes and used to design wood structures worldwide.

What are the latest trends in the world of code development related to wood? How are wood design standards keeping up with technology? This presentation will provide an overview of some of the significant code changes for wood construction per the International Code Council's 2015 International Building Code (IBC) and American Wood Council's 2015 National Design Specification® (NDS®) for Wood Construction and 2015 Special Design Provisions for Wind and Seismic (SDPWS).
