At the end of this program, participants will be knowledgeable of:
1. Identify basic wood material properties and learn how to avoid splits, notching, and checking in connection solutions.
2. Recommend fastening guidelines for wood-to-steel, wood-to-concrete, and wood-to-wood connections.
3. Describe effects of moisture on wood connections and implement proper flashing to avoid problems.
4. Identify proper fastener selection in size, scope, and pattern.
