2 The American Wood Council is a Registered Provider with The American Institute of Architects Continuing Education Systems (AIA/CES), Provider # Credit(s) earned on completion of this course will be reported to AIA CES for AIA members. Certificates of Completion for both AIA members and non-aia members are available upon request. Participants may download the presentation here: This course is registered with AIA CES for continuing professional education. As such, it does not include content that may be deemed or construed to be an approval or endorsement by the AIA of any material of construction or any method or manner of handling, using, distributing, or dealing in any material or product. Questions related to specific materials, methods, and services will be addressed at the conclusion of this presentation W F C M C h a n g e s S T D

3 COURSE DESCRIPTION The Wood Frame Construction Manual (WFCM) for One- and Two-Family Dwellings (ANSI/AWC WFCM- 2018) has been updated and is referenced in the 2018 International Building Code (IBC) and 2018 International Residential Code (IRC). The 2018 WFCM uses gravity and lateral loads based on ASCE/SEI 7-16 Minimum Design Loads and Associated Criteria for Buildings and Other Structures. This presentation will provide an overview of the significant changes in the 2018 WFCM relative to the previous 2015 edition. The WFCM provides code officials and designers with timesaving tools based on engineered and prescriptive solutions (based on structural engineering principles) for wood structures to resist anticipated lateral and gravity loads W F C M C h a n g e s S T D

4 LEARNING OBJECTIVES Upon completion, participants will: 1 Relevant references 3 Be familiar with provisions of the 2018 WFCM and relevant references in the 2018 IRC and 2018 IBC Updates in the Standard Be familiar with changes to the 2018 WFCM and their impact 2 ASCE/SEI Identify wind load increases in ASCE/SEI 7-16 that affect wood design and construction New Deformed-Shank Fasteners Understand the addition of deformedshank fasteners and other criteria to address new wind load provisions W F C M C h a n g e s S T D
