This Wood Frame Construction Manual Workbook (WFCM Workbook) provides a design example, typical checklist, and background information related to design of a wood-frame structure in accordance with AF&PA's Wood Frame Construction Manual (WFCM) for One- and Two-Family Dwellings, 2001 Edition. The design example uses plans from a 2-story residence designed to resist wind, seismic and snow loads. Typically, these load conditions do not all apply to the same structure (e.g., usually only 2 of these conditions are evaluated depending on the geographic location and local building code requirements). However, all three load conditions are evaluated in this example to show the broader range of applicability of the WFCM. The authority having jurisdiction should be consulted for applicable load conditions.
