Topic:
DES341- The Fasteners and the Furious
Abstract:
Due to the great success of DES340-Cornucopia of Classic Connection Conundrums presentation, this program includes discussion about wood-based connection design based on numerous help desk questions and feedback from design professionals. AWC has identified some commonly overlooked wood-based connection engineering requirements from the National Design Specification® (NDS®) for Wood Construction and Special Design Provisions for Wind and Seismic (SDPWS) for discussion. Connection detailing requirements and design examples will also be provided.
Learning Objectives:
- Describe and analyze wood-based connection engineering issues.
- Acquire resources for complying with wood-based connection design.
- Identify lateral connection details.
- Specify proper fasteners for shear walls, diaphragms, and other wood-based assemblies.
