Published by the International Code Council, publishers of the 2003 International Residential Code, the Hurricane Resistant Residential Construction Workbook provides information on the requirements of the Hurricane Residential Construction Standard (SSTD-10), which provides pre-engineered prescriptive design and construction details with the purpose of improving the structural performance of residential buildings in hurricane-prone zones. Provides wind resistant designs and construction details for one- and two-story residential buildings of typical wood-framed construction and one-, two-, and three-story residential buildings of typical concrete or masonry construction sited in high wind regions.
Hurricane Resistant Residential Construction Workbook is based on the requirements of the 2003 International Residential Code. It includes numerous illustrations.
