The presentation provides a brief overview of the design standards for resisting wind and seismic forces and the difference between the rational and the conventional design approaches. The instructor explains what makes a complete lateral-load resisting system and outlines the design procedures and construction techniques for cost-effective and reliable diaphragms, shear walls, and their connections. You will study proven design details for lateral-load resisting systems of wood-framed buildings. In addition, you will learn some common misconceptions involved in this area of design and learn which pitfalls to avoid. The seminar is co-sponsored by ASCE's Structural Engineering Institute and ASCE Continuing Education.

This seminar will take place at 12 Noon to 1:30 PM Eastern Time, per the date(s) listed. 299M/$349NM Per Seminar Site.
