Decks: Down the Load Path
PART THREE IN A FOUR PART SERIES
Approved for 0.3 CEU
Course Description & Details
From the decking to the foundation, this course covers, in detail, all segments of a deck load path (except for ledgers and lateral loads covered in course 2). New IRC tables specific to deck joist and beam spans are discussed in depth, including little known details that increase their design flexibility. Foundation and posts can now be sized using tributary area and provisions for their connections provide for many methods. This course reveals how the 2021 IRC is the most helpful yet in prescriptive deck design and construction.
Course Objectives
- Understand the methodology of prescriptive deck foundation design.
- Learn how the code addresses single and multi-span decking.
- Realize the flexibility of the joist and beam span tables not obvious in the code provisions.
- Understand the changes to post sizing provisions and why the 2021 edition is so useful.
