with the 2018 itemational Building Code (8G), ASCE 7-18 Minimum Design
Loads and Assocsted Crile for Bikngs and Other Stuctures (ASCE 7), and
the 2018 National Design Speciaton® for Wood Censiucion (NDS®). Toe NDS
iedudes a valuable commentary ad an NDS Supplement weich provides section
properties and reference design values. Alowable Stess Design (ASD) is
‘emphaszed; however, Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFO) is also

structural gued-aminated timbers (GL). Wood structra! panels, wood ois,
‘tuetural compost lumber (LVL, PSL, LSL, OSL, et), cosslaminaied timber
(CLT) and decking are not addressed

‘Wood stucural members such as beams and columns are subject fo many types
of loads, incding gravity loads (eg, dead, ve, snow, an rain) and lateral oad
(e.. wind, earthquake, and so). Gray loads are detemined by computing the

with IAC Section 1606, 1607 and 168, Wind loads are deteined in accordance

fare determined in accordance with IBC Section 1613 and ASCE 7 Capers t, 12

information. Once the loads have been determined, the load path through the
