Housing Affordability Through Design Efficiency Program - pdf 3.8 MB (DOWNLOAD TIME about 15 minutes with a 56K modem) Prepared for HUD and the NAHB by the NAHB Research Center. Assesses design, construction, and cost implications of existing model building codes & standards when applied to wood-frame homes over a broad range of design conditions. Particular emphasis was applied to wind and seismic issues.
American Wood Council AWC offers technical information, publications, software, and codes and standards to assist in wood construction and design.
FRAMING – Software for Wood Framing Design and Analysis Designed by engineers for non-engineers, FRAMING allows for rapid (and accurate) design and analysis of Joists, Rafters, Beams, and Columns. Various structural elements are analyzed and designed for different cross sections and multiple loads based on NDS, IRC, BOCA, and UBC codes.
WoodWorks - Software for Wood Design WoodWorks® computer-assisted design software has been developed by engineers to simplify and enhance the wood design process. WoodWorks allows quick and accurate sizing, based on American Forest & Paper Association's National Design Specification for Wood Construction (NDS) in United States and Canadian Standard Association's (CSA) O86 Wood Design Standard in Canada, of structural members such as joists, studs, beams, and columns for different load conditions.
