Information About WFCM High Wind Guides 90 MPH Wind Zones
Guide to Wood Construction in High Wind Areas for One- and Two-Family Dwellings - 90 mph Exposure B Wind Zone, 2006 Edition addresses wind design requirements in 90 mph wind zones. This guide is based on provisions contained in AF&PA's Wood Frame Construction Manual (WFCM) for One- and Two-Family Dwellings, 2001 Edition, the reference document for high-wind wood-frame construction in the International Residential Code (IRC). Use of the high wind provisions of this guide will result in design solutions that prescriptively meet the requirements of the WFCM and the IRC.
The high wind provisions in this guide can be used to achieve code compliant design solutions for wood frame dwellings located in wind speed zones that exceed the limitations in the IRC.
This document is also available for 100, 110, 120, and 130 wind zones.
