ON-DEMAND WEBINAR
Designing Engineered Wood Diaphragm Systems
Diaphragms play a vital role in a building’s lateral load path. Whether that lateral load is from seismic activity or wind forces, the diaphragm distributes it to the shear walls. This session explains the proper design of engineered wood diaphragm and subdiaphragm systems. Participants will learn best practices as they are guided through simple design examples. This webinar qualifies for AIA and ICC credits.
