Question Title

2 PDH - Course Presenter: Shane Vilasineekul, Simpson Strong-Tie.

Part 1: Design of Multi-Story Light-Frame Shear Walls

The 2009 IBC references two new standards for the lateral design of light-frame structures: AF&PA’s 2008 Special Design Provisions for Wind and Seismic standard for wood framing, and AISI’s 2007 Lateral Design standard for cold-formed steel framing. This presentation will review the design procedures described in these documents for multi-story shear walls. This will include cumulative overturning effects, the different requirements for wind and seismic design, aspect ratio limits, and designing with prefabricated shear wall panels. Lastly, the latest research and testing relating to multi-story lateral design will be discussed, including video of the world’s largest earthquake test.

Part 2: Simpson Strong-Tie Lateral Systems Tools for Structural Engineers

All too often structural engineers are given insufficient wall lengths which do not permit site built shear wall systems. This presentation will review Simpson Strong-Tie’s proprietary products that help solve this and other common problems encountered in the design of lateral force resisting systems. We will discuss the latest code requirements, testing criteria, and industry changes that are important to designers of light-frame structures and introduce new tools and software to simplify their jobs.
