Start
The 2021 Edition of Special Design Provisions for Wind and Seismic (SDPWS) is the latest update of the IBC-referenced document. The 2021 SDPWS was developed by AWC’s Wood Design Standards Committee (WDSC) and contains provisions for the design of wood members, fasteners, and assemblies to resist wind and seismic forces. This program will cover notable revisions between the 2021 and 2015 versions of the standard.

Calculation of Sound Transmission Parameters for Wood-Frame Assemblies

Image for Calculation of Sound Transmission Parameters for Wood-Frame Assemblies
Start
Building codes stipulate minimum performance requirements regarding noise transmission through common interior walls and floor/ceiling assemblies that separate a dwelling unit from either a public area or an adjacent dwelling unit. In the 2018 International Building Code (IBC), two parameters are used to establish these minimum acoustical requirements: Sound Transmission Class (STC) and Impact Insulation Class (IIC). Compliance with these requirements may be demonstrated either through testing or through engineering analysis based on empirical test data from other similar assemblies. This presentation provides an overview of the new American Wood Council (AWC) empirical model which may be used for analysis of wood-frame floor/ceiling assemblies to estimate the code-regulated sound transmission parameters. A report titled Technical Report 15 – Calculation of Sound Transmission Parameters for Wood-Framed Assemblies, available at awc.org, provides the basis for the calculation-based analysis approach.

Image for IBC 2021 Code Conforming Wood Design
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.

AWC received ANSI approval of its 2024 Fire Design Specification for Wood Construction (FDS) as an American National Standard (ANS). The new standard, designated as ANSI/AWC FDS-2024, brings together provisions for the fire design of wood members, assemblies, and connections to meet code requirements. This presentation will discuss existing wood design provisions currently in building codes, wood design standards, and numerous design aids that have been incorporated into the new standard. It will also provide information on new calculation procedures to address the added fire resistance and thermal benefits of protection provided by use of wood cover, gypsum panel products, and insulation.
