Description

Research, full scale testing and code requirements continue to evolve on mid-rise construction. This presentation will focus on some important engineering considerations related to the design of mid-rise wood structures. Implementation of a well-considered design requires the understanding of diaphragm and shear wall flexibility and their effects on the horizontal distribution of loads through the structure.
