Fourth in the Prescriptive Method Series

From: HUD USER News
 
HUD's Partnership for Advancing Technology in Housing
(PATH) recently released the fourth in a series of
reports on prescriptive methods for using alternative
materials in residential construction without the need
for project-specific engineering services. Prescriptive
Method for Connecting Structural Insulated Panel Roofs
to Concrete Wall Systems offers methods for connecting
structural insulated panel (SIP) roofs to concrete wall
systems in one- and two-family dwellings, townhomes, and
other attached single-family dwellings and accessory
structures.
 
This report adheres to accepted engineering practices,
standard testing procedures, and practical construction
techniques. It is designed for use by homebuilders,
design professionals, and building code officials, and
was written to comply with the loading requirements of
the most recent U.S. model building codes at the time of
publication.
 
Prescriptive Method for Connecting Structural Insulated
Panel Roofs to Concrete Wall Systems is available as a
free download from HUD USER
at www.huduser.gov/portal/publications/destech/pres_method.html.
The three previous reports in the prescriptive methods
series are available to download free of charge at the
following links:
 
o The Prescriptive Method for Connecting Cold-Formed
 Steel Framing to Insulating Concrete Form Walls in
 Residential Construction;
 
o Prescriptive Method for Insulating Concrete Forms in

 Framing.
