Start
This course offers a focused exploration of wood design according to the 2021 International Building Code (IBC), based on the Code Conforming Wood Design (CCWD) publication. Ideal for architects, engineers, and construction professionals, it covers key aspects of wood construction for commercial and multi-family residential projects. Participants will learn to determine maximum building sizes for eight common use groups, establish fire resistance for wood assemblies and mass timber, and apply special provisions for podium buildings. The course also addresses criteria for wood finishes, appendages, and features, provides an overview of structural provisions in Chapter 23, and outlines essential construction precautions.

This program will take a deep dive into the significant impacts of the changes in the 2021 International RESIDENTIAL Code during our wrap up of this 2-part webinar series. We will continue to look at the application and impacts of revisions in the 2018 IRC while noting the enforcement issues they create. To have the best experience, it is recommended that learners take Significant Changes to the 2021 IRC - Part 1 before attending.

Image for Safeguarding Buildings During Construction: Fire & Life Safety Best Practices
Start

This program provides information to assist the Fire Service charged with responsibilities for fire and life safety on a construction site to follow best practices. Builders and building officials will also benefit from the information provided. The purpose is to reduce the risk of injuries and losses from fire. The information applies to the design and planning stages as well as the actual construction phase of buildings. Many hazards can be addressed before they become an issue by adoption of best practices and rigorous code enforcement. The primary focus of this program is on large buildings during construction. Other topics that include demolition, alterations, renovations, repair and maintenance, as well as newly completed buildings will be discussed. This program provides guidance that is based on compliance with Chapter 33 of the 2021 International Fire Code, Chapter 33 of the 2021 International Building Code, and NFPA Standards 1 and 241.

New provisions for Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT) shear wall design are included in the 2021 Special Design Provisions for Wind and Seismic (2021 SDPWS), the culmination of many years of research and testing. This program will present a design example for a CLT shear wall, including panel capacity, hold-downs, and deflection checks. Relevant supporting testing, analysis, and referenced standards will also be discussed.

Building height, area, occupancy class, and number of stories will often determine the fire resistive construction requirements of building elements in light wood frame construction. This presentation introduces requirements for fire resistance and sound transmission in wood frame buildings of Types III and V construction. One of the methods for determining fire resistance in the International Building Code (IBC) is fire-resistant designs documented in approved sources. The American Wood Council Design for Code Acceptance No. 3 Fire Resistance-Rated Wood-Frame Wall and Floor/Ceiling Assemblies (DCA3), is commonly used as an approved source to specify fire-resistance-rated wood frame assemblies. The DCA3 can also be used to demonstrate compliance with sound transmission requirements.

This presentation will introduce learners to new Mass Timber buildings (Construction Types IV-A, IV-B, and IV-C). The criteria and products commonly associated with Mass Timber buildings will be discussed. The course will provide an overview of the work of the International Code Council’s (ICC) Tall Wood Building Ad Hoc Committee (TWBAH). The presentation will provide an overview of fire tests performed in support of these changes. Allowable heights and maximum number of stories permitted for the new Mass Timber Construction Types will be discussed, along with the basis for determining required fire resistance, and the importance of non-combustible protection.

Three building features - height, area, and number of stories - will often determine the fire resistive construction requirements of building elements in light wood frame construction. This presentation introduces common types of framing and scoping requirements associated with using wood in combustible construction in Types III and V structures. These requirements are summarized in the 2018 Code Conforming Wood Design (CCWD) which will also be discussed. Additionally, one of the methods for determining fire resistance per section 703.3 in the International Building Code is fire-resistant designs documented in approved sources. The American Wood Council's Design for Code Acceptance No. 3 Fire-Resistance-Rated Wood-Frame Wall and Floor/Ceiling Assemblies (DCA-3) is commonly used as an approved source to specify rated wood-frame assemblies.
