Course Summary:
Given that most homes in the United States are built with wood structural materials, the guide focuses on appropriate methods of design associated with wood for the above-grade portion of the structure. Concrete and masonry are generally assumed to be used for the below-grade portion of the structure, although preservative-treated wood may also be used. Other materials and systems using various innovative approaches are considered in abbreviated form, as appropriate. In some cases, innovative materials or systems can be used to address specific issues in the design and performance of homes.
Learning Objective:
It is hoped that this course will foster a better understanding among engineers, architects, building code officials, and home builders by clarifying the perception of homes as structural systems. As such, the guide should help structural designers perform their services more effectively and assist in integrating their skills with other professionals who contribute to the production of safe and affordable homes in the United States.
