          engineered and prescriptive design requirements for     design condition. In keeping with good engineering
          wood frame construction used in one- and two-           practice, this results in tables that are based on the
          family dwellings. The provisions of the WFCM are        worst case. For specific design cases, the user may
          based on dead, live, snow, seismic and wind loads       find advantages to computing design requirements
