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.
