This six-page laminated reference guide provides an easy-to-follow seven-step procedure for application of the structural requirements of the 2006 International Residential Code as they relate to woodframe construction in higher seismic design categories.
Illustrations are provided for many of the difficult to understand requirements. Subjects addressed include determination of the IRC's applicability and requirements for:
- Site and soil,
- Foundation,
- Roof and ceiling framing,
- Floor framing,
- Wall framing, and
- Wall bracing.
Two examples are provided - one illustrating the Continuous Wood Structural Panel Sheathing Method and the other illustrating the Alternate Braced Wall Panel Method.
CodeMaster: Woodframe Dwellings and Townhouses takes a complex set of code requirements and breaks them down into an easy-to-follow list of items, with corresponding IRC section numbers, and sketches and details showing exactly what is required by the provisions of the 2006 International Residential Code. |
