WTCA Update - Introduction to The Load Guide (TLG) - Part 2

  • The primary goal of The Load Guide is to provide a design load calculator for each uniquely loaded roof and floor structural component that anyone involved in designing a building can use as the basis of their design.
  • A secondary goal is to help ensure that everyone involved in a construction project agrees on the applied loads.
  • It is important to have the person responsible for determining the loads to agree to and sign off on the loads to be applied to each uniquely loaded roof or floor component. TLG makes it easy.
