Overview of ANSI/AWC FDS-2024
Enrollment options
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.
