Shear Exhilaration: Wood Shear Wall and Diaphragm Design per the 2021 IBC

On-Demand Webinar

This on-demand webinar provides a comprehensive top-to-bottom overview of lateral design for wood-framed structures, with a focused lens on shear wall performance and design. Drawing from real-world post-disaster evaluations, participants will explore common failure modes and compare methods and outcomes across various wood structural panel shear wall designs.

What you’ll learn:

  • How to apply load path continuity principles and understand shear wall performance in wood-framed structures

  • Design methodologies for wood structural panel shear walls, including a comparison of methods and outcomes

  • Lessons learned from post-disaster evaluations that highlight common shear wall failure modes

  • Installation considerations that can affect shear wall performance and how to proactively address them

  • The force transfer around openings (FTAO) method and its application in lateral design

What you’ll earn

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

  • Participants who complete the quiz qualify for 0.1 CEU from ICC

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