ANSI
/ AF&PA SDPWS-2005 - Special Design Provisions for
Wind and Seismic standard with Commentary covers
materials, design and construction of wood members, fasteners,
and assemblies to resist wind and seismic forces. Engineered
design of wood structures to resist wind or seismic forces
is either by allowable stress design (ASD); or load and
resistance factor design (LRFD).
Criteria
for proportioning, design, and detailing of engineered
wood systems, members, and connections in lateral force
resisting systems is provided. Nominal shear capacities
of diaphragms and shear walls are provided for reference
assemblies.
The
2001 ASD/LRFD SDPWS was first issued in 2002 (see
below). Provisions of the SDPWS are generally
consistent with provisions of the International Building
Code (IBC), the NEHRP Recommended Provisions for
Seismic Regulations for New Buildings (FEMA 368), as
well as recommendations in current design standards or
guidelines such as ASCE-7.
