Research and Development Needs for Structural Performance of Light-frame Residential Construction (January 2002, 27 p.)
The Partnership for Advancing Technology in Housing (PATH) advances Technology in the home building
industry to improve the affordability and value of new and existing homes. The PATH program partners
recognize the importance of setting priorities for research and technology development that will enable the
home building industry to work towards the PATH mission. This priority setting is known as "roadmapping."
This report is part of an effort to establish research
priorities for structural performance of light-frame residential construction and it can be considered a part of the
overall PATH Roadmapping effort.
In July 2001, representatives from universities, trade associations, product manufacturers, and the government
met to identify critical R&D needs for structural performance of light-frame residential construction.
This report is a result of that one-day workshop, providing a view of how future R&D efforts in this area (both public and
private sector efforts) can support the goals of the PATH program.
