Course Description: AEC Daily: Midrise Timber and Wood Frame Multifamily Housing: IBC Requirements and Shearwall Design

Urbanization and increasing land costs creating a tight housing market are driving densification and multifamily residential development. There is increased interest in midrise timber construction due to the 2021 International Building Code®, which permits mass timber buildings up to 18 stories high. This course discusses current IBC® requirements for the fire design of wood structural elements in Type III and Type IV buildings. Learners will review the use of continuous rod tiedown systems for light wood frame shearwalls and uplift restraint for wood structures up to 6 stories.

List the advantages of using mass timber structural systems for midrise multifamily residential buildings.
Describe key IBC and IFC fire safety requirements for light wood frame Type III and mass timber Type IV multifamily residential buildings.
Explain the design of shearwalls with continuous rod tiedown systems for resisting shearwall overturning and roof uplift in midrise wood frame structures.
Describe mass timber connectors that meet fire resistance ratings for Type IV construction.
