The detailing of mid-rise wood buildings plays a significant role in the ability to manage investment costs per unit and best use of the lot configuration. Implementing a well-considered design requires understanding and coordination of several architectural and structural design aspects such as fire/life safety, acoustic, building envelope and constructability. This presentation will discuss design and detailing considerations unique to mid-rise wood structures. Topics will include shrinkage (with an emphasis on detailing best practices to minimize its effects), structural detailing considerations related to lateral design, and acoustic performances of floor and wall assemblies. Examples of typical floor-to-wall intersection details will be presented demonstrating various ways design professionals can cost-effectively meet code requirements.
Learning Objective 1: Review International Building Code fire and life safety protection requirements for Type III and Type V mid-rise construction
Learning Objective 2: Discuss wood's shrinkage potential and causes. Identify shrinkage effects on non-structural components, and review detailing best practices to minimize the effects of shrinkage.
Learning Objective 3: Identify topics that impact detailing performance such as acoustic, structural design, and building envelope.
Learning Objective 4: Recognize common detailing used for floor-to-wall intersections in multi-story wood-frame buildings.
