Important Note – These are descriptions to changes implemented in WoodWorks Shearwalls for version 9 and may not reflect current behavior.
The program has been updated to comply with the most recent editions of the AWC Special Provisions for Wind and Seismic (SDPWS 2008), the International Building Code ( IBC 2012) and the Supplement 2 to the ASCE Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and other Structures (ASCE 7- 05).
In the course of this work, certain features that had been omitted from previous implementations of SDPWS were added to the program, and Wood Frame Construction Manual (WFFCM 2005) provisions removed, and replaced with SDPWS or NDS provisions. These changes are noted below.
