Chapter 12 Commentary WOOD STRUCTURE DESIGN …
231 Chapter 12 Commentary WOOD STRUCTURE DESIGN REQUIREMENTS GENERAL References. Wood construction practices have not been codified in a form that is standard throughout the country. The 2003 Provisions incorporates by reference the AF&PA ASD/LRFD Supplement, Special DESIGN Provisions for Wind and Seismic (SDPWS) and the 2003 International Residental Code (IRC). Many wood frame structures are a combination of engineered wood and conventional light-frame construction . Wood also is used in combination with other materials (American Institute of Timber construction , 1985; Breyer, 1993; Faherty and Williamson, 1989; Hoyle and Woeste, 1989; Somayaji, 1992; Stalnaker and Harris, 1989). The requirements of the model building codes were used as a resource in developing the requirements introduced in the 1991 Provisions and further modified since then. The general requirements of Chapter 12 cover construction practices necessary to provide a performance level of seismic resistance consistent with the purposes stated in Chapter 1.
(AF&PA/ASCE 16) and used it as the primary design procedure for engineered wood construction. The use of AF&PA/ASCE 16 continues in the 2003 Provisions. Conventional light-frame construction, a prescriptive method of constructing wood structures, is allowed for some design categories. These structures must be constructed according to the
