Building Excellence Series: Connection Design Solutions for Wood-Frame Structures
Proper connection design and specification is important to the structural performance and serviceability of any wood-frame structure. Bringing the 4-part series to a close, Cory will focus on wood connection design, including common fastener types and their design values.
The presentation also includes the orthotropic nature of wood and its role in connection design, commodity and specialty connectors, the use of steel connectors in wood-frame construction, and techniques for designing efficient, durable and code-compliant connections.
