Douglas S. Thompson Webinar

Seismic Design in a Three Story Wood Light-Frame Structure

This webinar will provide you with step-by-step approaches to applying the structural provisions of the 2006 International Building Code and 2005 National Design Specification. The design example will be for a Wood Light-Frame Three-Story Structure with wood structural panel shear walls (Example 2 in Volume 2 of the Structural/Seismic Design Manual). The design example will cover the technical as well as the practical side of the application of specific structural/seismic provisions as well as to why some of the new code changes have been implemented. A question and answer period will follow the session.

The cost is $250 per internet connection. Several people may attend for one connection fee.
