AWC Wood Design Package - 2012

The 2012 Wood Design Package brings together all required elements for design of wood structures in one comprehensive package. The package includes:

• ANSI/AWC NDS-2012 - National Design Specification (NDS) for Wood Construction
• NDS Supplement - Design Values for Wood Construction and
• ANSI/AWC SDPWS-2008 - Special Design Provisions for Wind and Seismic Standard (with Commentary)
• ASD/LRFD Manual for Engineered Wood Construction

Design provisions in the NDS are integral with design values in the NDS Supplement. As such, it is not appropriate to mix design values and provisions from different editions of the NDS. The NDS Supplement contains increased shear design values for sawn lumber..

SDPWS provides criteria for proportioning, designing, and detailing engineered wood systems, members, and connections in lateral force restraining systems. Engineered design of wood structures to resist wind or seismic forces is either by allowable stress design (ASD) or load and resistance factor design (LRDF). Nominal shear capacities of diaphragms and shear walls are provided for reference assemblies.

TheASD/LRFD Manual contains design information for structural lumber, glued laminated timber, structural-use panels, shear walls and diaphragms, poles and piles, I-joists, and structural composite lumber.
