Course)Description) Thisseminarwillprovideanoverviewofdetailing issuesrelatedtothedesignoffourqandfiveqstory woodqframebuildingsundertheinternational*building* Code.Providedbyanexpertinwooddesignand engineering,itwillcovercommondetailingchoices relatedtofireandlifesafety,suchasdetailingat exteriorwalls,aswellasbalconiesandshafts. Examplesofvariousbuildingconfigurationsandsite layoutswillbeusedtoillustratecommondetailing choices.
