This regional technical seminar addresses critical detailing challenges for mid-rise wood-frame construction under the International Building Code. Focus areas include fire resistance-rated design parameters for exterior walls, their intersections with rated floor assemblies, and details for elevator, stair, and mechanical shafts. Attendees will review code-specified building sizes, asymmetrical assemblies, the structural use of wood panels, and bearing requirements. The presentation emphasizes constructability and practical paths for code compliance and approval, followed by an on-site networking happy hour where participants can continue technical discussions.
