After the Storm – Designing Wood Buildings for High Wind Resistance

Webinar Sponsored by APA – The Engineered Wood Association

This webinar includes an overview of high wind forces, the importance of a continuous load path, and how good design and construction practices can improve the storm resistance of wood-framed buildings. Learn more about APA’s above-code recommendations for wind-resistant construction, as well as how attention to connection details, understanding lateral load concepts, and recognizing common failure modes seen in storm damage assessments can help you cost-effectively design a safer building and reduce future storm damage.
