Design Codes and Standards per Version

The engineering design codes and standards, and other sources of design procedures, used in the current and past versions of WoodWorks Shearwalls are given below. Because some states have not yet adopted the most recent codes, and to allow you to check old designs, WoodWorks provides licensed users with past versions of the software. Contact WoodWorks Sales for information about how to acquire an older version.

Refer to the Building Codes dialog box accessed from the Welcome dialog in the Help menu for more information about the implementation of these design codes in the program. Refer also to Design Provisions, Wind Load Generation Procedures, and Seismic Load Generation Provisions.
