Breaking Convention with Timber Offices
http://www.woodworks.org/education-event/2018-q1-t... [General Information] [Web Page] 2018 WoodWorks Great solutions often lie beyond convention. Consider that most offices in the U.S. could be built with a wood structure yet this option goes largely unexplored. Many designers assume they’re limited to concrete and steel for workplace environments—because that’s the common default—but, in fact, wood construction can accommodate the space and performance needs of office occupancies, while providing advantages such as speed, cost savings, and reduced environmental impact. Focusing on common desig... |

Mass Timber Connections: Building Structural Design Skills
http://www.woodworks.org/education-event/2018-q2-m... [Design/Architectural aspects] [Web Page] 2018 WoodWorks For engineers new to mass timber design, connections can pose a particular challenge. This course focuses on connection design principles and analysis techniques unique to mass timber products such as cross-laminated timber, glued-laminated timber and nail-laminated timber. Discussion will also include a review of timber mechanics and load transfer, as well as considerations such as tolerances, fabrication, durability, fire and shrinkage that are relevant to structural design. Bernhard has a de... |

Nailed-it! Introducing the Design Guide for Nail-Laminated Timber
http://www.woodworks.org/education-event/2018-q2-n... [Other] [Web Page] 2018 WoodWorks Growing interest in mass timber has led to increased use not only of cross-laminated timber, but nail-laminated timber (NLT or nail-lam)—a lesser known but more common material option. Discussion will include architectural and structural considerations, envelope and fabrication details, and key information from the Nail Laminated Timber Design and Construction Guide, which was authored by the speakers. Tanya is a licensed Professional Engineer and Senior Associate at Fast + Epp Structural Engine... |

WCD 6 - Design of Wood Frame Structures for Permanence
http://www.awc.org/codes-standards/publications/wc... [Standards/Building code] [Web Page] 2006 American Wood Council Design of durable structures is the result of careful planning and understanding of loads and forces that will likely act upon a building during its lifetime. If these key elements are not taken into consideration, the designer may compromise the ability of the structure to remain fully functional over extended periods of time. When properly designed, wood frame structures will resist damage by moisture and living organisms. Recommendations for control of moisture and protection against decay an... |
