Acknowledgments

This paper resulted from the Structural Engineering Institute (SEI) of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) special project entitled “The Next Step for ASCE 16-95: Performance-Based Design of Wood Structures.” Their support of the Committee on the Reliability-Based Design of Wood Structures Special Project is sincerely appreciated. The 1st Invitational Workshop on Performance-Based Design of Wood Structures was held in Fort Collins, Colorado, in 2005. Those workshop participants (list available on page 11 at ⟨http://www.engr.colostate.edu/∼jwv/⟩) are acknowledged for their helpful discussion. Philip Line’s (AF&PA) contributions to the durability section, and Dan Wheat’s (UT Austin) contribution to the wind modeling section of this paper are both gratefully acknowledged.
