Simpson Strong-Tie: Wood Framed Structures/Continuous Load Path Workshop
Course Description:
This workshop will provide a detailed review of the structural code requirements based on the IRC, IBC and/or AF&PA Wood Frame Construction Manual. Followed by an overview of products. We will discuss what the code requires to build a wood frame structure and a continuous load path and review all the codes and standards to properly design and construct an outdoor wood deck.
During this workshop, attendees will follow along with the computer presentation, participate in class discussion, binder and catalog review, and they will be asked to locate items in tables and charts. Product samples may also be used to provide a hands-on learning experience.
