MASS TIMBER AND CONVENTIONAL WOOD FRAME CONSTRUCTION: BUILDING CODE UPDATE

SEMINAR SPONSORS:

OPENING SESSION:8:00am – 8:15am // Welcome & Introductions

SESSION 1 // 8:15am – 9:15amINTERNATIONAL BUILDING CODE (IBC) ESSENTIALS FOR WOOD CONSTRUCTION BASED ON THE 2015 IBC(BCD420 – 1 hour)*Based on the popular Code Conforming Wood Design (CCWD), a joint publication of the American Wood Council (AWC) and the International Code Council (ICC), this presentation concisely summarizes the 2015 IBC for commercial and multi-family residential construction. It will explain the determination of maximum building size for eight common use groups using the new height and area tables of the 2015 IBC and pre-calculated tables provided in the CCWD. It will also address establishing fire resistance for wood assemblies and heavy timber; special provisions for pedestal buildings; criteria for finishes, appendages, and other wood features; the scoping of referenced wood design standards; an overview of structural provisions in Chapter 23; and requirements for precautions during construction.

9:15am – 9:30am // Break

On behalf of the industry it represents, The American Wood Council is committed to ensuring a resilient, safe, and sustainable built environment. To achieve these objectives, AWC contributes to the development of sound public policies, codes, and regulations which allow for the appropriate and responsible manufacture and use of wood products. We support the utilization of wood products by developing and disseminating consensus standards, comprehensive technical guidelines, and tools for wood design and construction, as well as providing education regarding their application.

Clemson University’s Wood Utilization + Design Institute (WU+D) was established in 2013 as a multidisciplinary engine of innovation where foresters, architects, engineers, constructors and building industry stakeholders coalesce to design advancements in wood-based construction materials to compete with steel, concrete and other materials currently used in nonresidential construction.

Huber Engineered Woods LLC continually strives to create innovative products that suit their customers’ needs. Each one delivers outstanding performance, easy installation and greater strength in single family, multifamily and light commercial projects. Huber Engineered Woods’ ZIP System® roof and wall sheathing are structural wood panels with built-in protective barriers, eliminating the need for building wrap or felt and providing a continuous rigid moisture and air barrier that optimizes energy efficiency. Additionally, Huber’s AdvanTech® subflooring product is proven to achieve a superior combination of strength and moisture resistance — for subflooring that won’t swell, cup, delaminate or bounce even under the toughest conditions.

SESSION 2 // 9:30am – 11:30amDISASTER RESISTANT WOOD FRAME CONSTRUCTION EXAMPLE USING 2015 WFCM(STD340 – 2 hours)*This course uses Design of Wood Frame Buildings for High Wind, Snow, and Seismic Loadings (2015 WFCM Workbook) which provides a design example, helpful checklist, and background information for design of a wood-frame structure in accordance with the 2015 Wood Frame Construction Manual (WFCM). Using plans from a 2-story residence, participants prescriptively design the structure to resist high wind and typical residential gravity loads. An overview of appropriate loads to apply to residential structures will be provided. Participants will work through roof, wall, and floor system designs including shear walls and appropriate connections between roof, floor, wall, and foundations to maintain load path.

11:30am – 1:15pm // Lunch

SESSION 3 // 1:15pm – 2:15pmWIND AND GRAVITY DESIGN FOR TALL WALLS IN WOOD BUILDINGS(DES230-A – 1 hour)*Elements and subassemblies which receive loads both directly and as part of the main wind force resisting system, such as wall studs, must be checked independently for Main Wind-Force Resisting System (MWFRS) loads and Component & Cladding (C&C) loads. A load bearing stud wall design example based on the allowable stress design methods outlined in AWC’s 2015 National Design Specification® (NDS®) for Wood Construction and 2015 WFCM along with ASCE 7-10 Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and Other Structures will demonstrate standard design checks for limit states of strength and deflection.

2:15pm – 2:30pm // Break

SESSION 4 // 2:30pm – 4:00pmOUTCOMES OF THE ICC TALL WOOD BUILDING AD HOC COMMITTEE: TALL MASS TIMBER PROVISIONS IN THE 2021 I-CODES (DES 607 - 1.5 hours)*In early 2016, the ICC Board of Directors approved the creation of an ad hoc committee to explore the building science of tall wood buildings with the scope being to investigate the feasibility of and take action to develop code changes for tall wood buildings. Since that time, the Tall Wood Building (TWB) Ad Hoc Committee has reviewed voluminous materials regarding tall wood buildings, including results of various testing around the world, as well as studies domestically in support of the TWB charge to conduct a thorough review of the science of tall wood. The TWB developed its own test scenario(s) to substantiate any code change proposals (testing was carried out at ATF labs); and worked to develop a comprehensive set of technically substantiated code changes for consideration during the 2018 Group A code development process. The intensive research performed by the Committee was submitted under the ICC Code Development Process, along with the resulting proposals developed by Committee consensus. All of the Group A TWB proposals have been approved. The TWB has also developed a set of Group B proposals, submitted in January 2019.
