Abstract
The basic information contained in chapters 1 through 3 was intended to introduce the basics of wind loads on buildings, the basics of nailing behavior, and the basic problems with current platform framing. Chapters 4, 5 and 6 explained in detail the problems associated with platform framing construction today. Chapter 7 will provide insights into the design ideas, concepts and framing requirements that will mitigate structural damage due to moderate to high winds.
