About American Wood Council
On behalf of the industry it represents, AWC is committed to ensuring a resilient, safe, and sustainable
built environment. To achieve these objectives, AWC contributes to the development of sound public
policies, codes, and regulations which allow for the appropriate and responsible manufacture and use of
‘wood products. We support the utilization of wood products by developing and disseminating consensus
standards, comprehensive technical guidelines, and tools for wood design and construction, as well as
providing education regarding their application.
About the International Code Council
The International Code Council is a member-focused association. It is dedicated to developing model
codes and standards used in the design, build and compliance process to construct safe, sustainable
affordable and resilient structures, Most US communities and many global markets choose the
Intemational Codes, ICC Evaluation Service (ICC-ES) is the industry leader in performing technical
evaluations for code compliance fostering safe and sustainable design and constructionAMERICAN,

‘This document is intended to aid instruction in structural
design of wood structures using both Allowable Stress
Design (ASD) and Load and Resistance Factor Design
(LRFD). It contains design examples and complete
solutions calculated using ASD and LRED. Solutions have
been developed based on the 20/5 and 2018 National
Design Specification*(NDS*) for Wood Construction,
and the 2015 Special Design Provisions for Wind and
Seismic (SDPWS). as appropriate. References are also
made to the 2015 and 2018 Wood Frame Construction
‘Manual (WECM) for One- and Two- Family Dwellings
Copies of these standards produced by the American
Wood Council can be obtained at www.awe org/codes-
standards/publications. Procedures will be applicable for
both 2015 and 2018 versions of the NDS and WFCM,
unless otherwise noted. Example problems range from
simple to complex and cover many design scenarios, In
the solutions where a particular provision of the NDS
or SDPWS is cited, reference is made to the document
and corresponding provision number, e.g. NDS 43.1
It is intended that this document be used in conjunction
with competent engineering design, accurate fabrication,
and adequate supervision of construction. Neither the
American Wood Council, the Intemational Code Council
nor their members assume any responsibility for errors of
omissions in this document, nor for engineering designs

expertise of licensed engineers. architects, or other licensed
professionals for applications to a particular structure.

Using the bearing factor C,,confrms that a 3 inch wide hanger aoross the beam would be adequate,
this stage of the caculaions, the span of the beam can be reviewed. The 32 foot span was based on the
center to center distance between supports. The length of the span used in design i the face to face distance
lus 1/2 of the required bearing length atthe ends (3.2.1).
Inthe example, the face to face distance is 32 fl minus 6 inches or 31.5 feet. At the end of the beam the required
bearing distance is 12,998 Ibs/(5 inches * 650 psi) or 4 inches. At the interior face, haff the purin lads assumed
to be transferred to the beam end. Required length in bearing s (2500 lbs + 7500 Ibs + 488 lbs) inches * 650
Psi) or 3.25 inches. The two required bearing lengths and the face to face distance produces a span of 31.5 +
112 (4.00/12) + 1/2 (3.25/12) or 31 8 foot which 99.4% of the conter to conter span. The shorter span reduces
moments and bending strasses by 1.25%. The reduction is considered insufficient to alow the use of the next
