Log Cabin Construction Standards

Log Cabin Construction Standards

Log Cabin Construction Standards

(OP)
I have a bit of an odd request.  Does anyone know if there are any published guidlines for the design and construction of log cabins?  I have a project to investigate the cause of some wall rotation and settlement issues.  

Chapter 23 of the IBC does not specifically address these types of structures.  I was hoping that there is some widely accepted guildines for these.

Thanks

Try ICC 400-2007 Standard on the Design and Construction of Log Structures
