CALCULATING WIND LOADS ON LOW-RISE STRUCTURES PER 2015 WFCM engineering provisions (STD342-1)John Buddy Showalter, Vice President, Technology Transfer American Wood Council Description The Wood Frame Construction Manual (WFCM) for One- and Two-Family Dwellings (ANSI/AWC WFCM- 2015 ) is referenced in the 2015 International Building Code and 2015 International Residential Code. For WFCM wind load calculations, Minimum Design LOADS for Buildings and Other STRUCTURES (ASCE 7-10) is used. The 2015 WFCM includes design information for buildings located in regions with 700-year return period three second gust design wind speeds between 110 and 195 mph. ASD wind pressures for Main Wind-Force Resisting Systems (MWFRS) and Components and Cladding (C&C) are computed. Shear, uplift, and overturning LOADS are calculated for various building components. WFCM Chapter 2 provides minimum LOADS for the purpose of establishing specific resistance requirements for buildings within the scope of the document.
