IRC for Engineers: Part 4 Wind Examples

This multi-part series provides an overview of the 2021 International Residential Code (IRC) structural provisions for engineers. With a focus on wood construction, the course addresses gravity and lateral loads on residential structures. Prescriptive solutions for floor, roof, and wall systems are described to help engineers understand where engineering is required. Based on a 2-story residential wood frame structure, Part 3 provides a prescriptive solution using the IRC for a 115-mph wind speed and a prescriptive solution using the IRC-referenced Wood Frame Construction Manual for a 160-mph wind speed.
