Synopsis

The American Wood Council has developed a new series of easy-to-use Guides to Wood Construction in High Wind Areas. This document addresses wind design requirements in 110 mph wind zones. These Guides are based on provisions contained in AF&PA's Wood Frame Construction Manual (WFCM) for One- and Two-Family Dwellings, 2001 Edition, the reference document for high-wind wood-frame construction in the International Residential Code (IRC). Use of the high wind provisions of these Guides will result in design solutions that prescriptively meet the requirements of the WFCM and the International Residential Code. The high-wind provisions in these Guides can be used to achieve code-compliant design solutions for wood-frame dwellings located in wind speed zones that exceed the limitations in the International Residential Code.
