2 Learning Objectives Governing Codes for Wood Design At the end of this program, participants will be able to: 1. Explain the fundamental behavior of wood structures especially as it pertains to diaphragms, shear walls, and the connections therein. 2. Identify new technologies such as designing g wood structural panel wall sheathing to resist simultaneous shear and uplift forces. 3. Recognize common failure modes using photographs from APA post-disaster evaluations. 4. Identify the relationship between load-path discontinuity and structural damage by viewing common failure modes IBC (International Building Code) Chapter 16 Loads Chapter 23 Wood Governing Codes for Wood Design Governing Codes for Wood Design SEI/ASCE 7-05 Design Loads 2005 NDS Load Resistance Code Adopted ANSI Process 2005 NDS (National Design Specification for Wood Construction)

30 Shearwall Minimum Aspect Ratios w = h/3.5 for wind w = h/2 for seismic exception: 3.5:1 can be used with penalty (2w/h) Specific stud species Shear Wall Capacity Based on: APA wood structural panels of specific grade and thickness h w Hold-down anchors anchor bolts Specific nail size and spacing requirements How about composite action using Adhesives? 40% Increase for Wind Capacity IBC and Theoretically possible! True composite action requires rigid structural adhesives. (Construction adhesives creep under load and do not give 100% composite action.) Structural adhesives are very hard-to-impossible to do successfully in the field. The current shear wall and diaphragm tables are based on a 2.8 min. safety factor Code authors agreed that a 2.0 safety factor is Code authors agreed that a 2.0 safety factor is adequate due to confidence in wind load accuracy - thus a 40% increase in tabulated values

31 Summing Shear Capacities of Dissimilar Materials Section For wind design, adding the gypsum capacity on the inside face of wall is allowed Shear Walls: Wind v. Seismic Wind Design: 40% increased capacity Gypsum strength can be added 3.5:1 max. aspect ratio Seismic Design: Requires 3x framing more often (SDC D-F) 2:1 max. aspect ratio without penalty 3.5:1 permitted with penalty (2w/h) Shear Walls: Wind v.
