Overview The AWC SDPWS-2015 Special Design Provisions for Wind and Seismic provides comprehensive requirements for the design and construction of wood structures to resist wind and seismic forces. It includes guidelines for load paths, lateral force-resisting systems, connections, and detailing to ensure the structural integrity and safety of wood buildings during wind and seismic events.
The 2015 California Wood Construction Wind and Seismic Code adopts the AWC SDPWS-2015 with specific amendments tailored to California’s unique conditions. These modifications address state-specific wind and seismic considerations, detailing requirements, and compliance with regulations to ensure that wood construction in California meets high standards of safety, performance, and reliability.
