Code Counts: Designing for Fire Safety
https://www.thinkwood.com/news/code-counts-designi... [Standards/Building code] [Web Page] 2017
ThinkWood
During the week of October 21, 2012, the International Code Council (ICC) approved language for the 2015 International Building Code (IBC) that declared cross-laminated timber (CLT) was approved as a building element for non-residential structures (2015 IBC 602.4). This breakthrough codification of CLT quickly inspired a wide variety of mass timber development—from schools and offices to mid-rise/multifamily, civic, institutional, industrial and retail—and the code enforcement that goes with it...

Gordon Hoekstra’s article in the February 2nd Vancouver Sun entitled: “U.S. expert warns B.C. of potential earthquake risk to wood-frame homes” would lead many to believe that British Columbia’s wood-frame housing stock is at significant risk of collapsing into the Pacific. In this article, Peter Yanev, founder of EQE Consulting, states: “…unprecedented destruction of wood-frame buildings (Japanese 2016 earthquake) called into question many of the assumptions and modelling in the insurance and o...

Seismic Testing: What If Mass Timber Buildings Can Become Earthquake-Proof By Us
https://www.thinkwood.com/news/seismic-testing-mas... [Seismic Performance] [Web Page] 2017
ThinkWood
Wood buildings in the U.S. have been predominantly constructed using platform light-framed wood construction for decades. Light-framed wood systems are very cost-competitive in the low-rise residential market, but its application is restricted by the current building code in terms of height and area. Because of the use of wood bearing walls as the main gravity system, it can be challenging for light-framed wood buildings to have an open floor plan for commercial applications....

Benton Johnson, from the Chicago office of Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, discusses the intricate and practical steps it will to take to make timber structures a reality. Ongoing interest in high-rise timber applications and technology has led to a boom in innovative building method research, with the hope of turning design concepts into structural realities....

Glulam Fire Tests Help Provide an Off The Shelf Solution

ThinkWood
A recent glulam fire connections report demonstrates the fire resistance rating of glulam beam to column connections in Type IV construction. The findings support mass timber as a safe solution that meets, and in some cases exceeds, stringent fire safety standards for U.S. building design and construction....

Prefab Macquarie Uni building constructed in just five months
http://www.architectureanddesign.com.au/projects/e... [Case Study/Projects] [Magazine/Newspaper Article] 2017
Architecture and Design
An Architectus-designed prefabricated building has opened at Macquarie University in Sydney, and it took just five months to construct. The timber-designed Incubator has been conceived “as a pair of pavilions”, and will nurture, equip and accommodate entrepreneurs as they grow a business idea or social venture into a successful start-up. “Each [of the pavilions have] flexible layouts that lend themselves to the future adaptations and functions of the start-ups inside,” says Luke Johnson, Archite...

Flame-retardant treatments for timber products
https://www.trada.co.uk/publications/wood-informat... [Fire Performance] [Web Page]
TRADA
In many situations, timber and wood-based materials may be used in their natural, untreated state. However, flame-retardant (FR) treatments extend their use to situations that demand enhanced reaction to fire properties. This Wood Information Sheet (WIS) covers treatments that may be applied to wood and wood-based products both factory and site applied to upgrade their fire performance to Euroclass B or C or National class 0, 1 or 2....

Timber frame building: materials specification
https://www.trada.co.uk/publications/wood-informat... [Standards/Building code] [Web Page]
TRADA
This Wood Information Sheet (WIS) outlines the materials normally specified for conventional timber frame buildings. Some variations will occur according to the structural design and detailing requirements of specific projects. Many of the components are also used in innovative forms of construction such as engineered stud and twin stud walls, cross-laminated timber and structural insulated panel forms. Many components, such as cladding materials and joinery, are not specific to timber frame and...

Design of structural timber connections
https://www.trada.co.uk/publications/wood-informat... [Design/Architectural aspects] [Web Page]
TRADA
Connections are an essential part of any structure, and in timber structures they are often the most critical part of a design. The timber section size is often determined by the strength of the section remaining after drilling holes for bolts or dowels, or by the spacing requirements for the fasteners, rather than the load-carrying capacity of the timber. Therefore the design of connections is an important section of any timber design standard....
