Tracing a Wind Load through a Wood-Frame Structure

On-Demand Webinar

This webinar examines the lateral load path of wind forces through wood-framed construction, with emphasis on the structural significance of a complete load path and associated detailing requirements. Participants will develop a technical understanding of framing best practices, common deficiencies, and the code provisions governing critical connections.

What you’ll learn:

  • Identify and trace the complete lateral load path through a wood-framed structure

  • Recognize common framing errors within the lateral load path

  • Understand the structural consequences of an incomplete load path

  • Evaluate applicable code requirements for critical lateral load path details and connections

What you’ll earn

  • A downloadable certificate of completion is available after completing a brief quiz

  • Participants who complete the quiz qualify for 1 AIA HSW/LU and 0.1 ICC CEU

  • CEUs and certificate(s) received upon course completion are transferrable and may be applied towards PDHs or other general CEUs/certifications, such as PE

Offered by APA — The Engineered Wood Association.
