Description: This web seminar will highlight code requirements applicable to the seismic design of wood structures found in the 2012 IBC, ASCE 7-10 and the 2008 edition of Special Design Provisions for Wind and Seismic (SDPWS). Wood-framed shear wall and diaphragm code issues will be discussed including deflection equations, detailing requirements, and limitations on the use of wood in seismic design. Reasons for code compliance will be explained and illustrated with additional resources provided for background information and justification. This web seminar will also include three question-and-answer periods. Speaker Bio: Phil Line currently serves as the American Wood Council’s Director of Structural Engineering. Phil works extensively with wood industry technical committees on the development of wood design standards including the National Design Specification® (NDS®) for Wood Construction. He also serves on several standards development committees of organizations including the American Society of Testing and Materials (ASTM), the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), and the Building Seismic Safety Council (BSSC). Phil currently serves as the wood industry representative on the BSSC Provisions Update Committee which develops the National Earthquake Hazard Reduction Program (NERHP) Recommended Provisions for Seismic Regulations for New Buildings and Other Structures.
