StructureCraft
Concord Pacific, a high-end real estate developer, needed a 4,000 square foot portable display pavilion designed and built to support the marketing of suites in a series of high-rise towers. And the building had to be completed, on site in under tow months. StructureCraft took the job, agreeing to design and deliver the exposed architectural timber structure for a fixed price. Working with fully committed architects, design ideas were rapidly detailed and approved, with shop personnel kept close...

The Science Behind Dowel-laminated Timber
https://www.thinkwood.com/news/science-behind-dowe... [Other] [Web Page] 2017
ThinkWood
Lucas Epp of StructureCraft Builders describes the science behind one of the newest mass timber products on the market, and how it could help change the face of timber construction. Headlines touting the newest timber high-rises have been on the rise in the past decade, as there has been renewed interest in using wood structural systems for mid- and high-rise commercial construction across Europe, Canada, and the United States. This interest in the potential applications has grown, in part, bec...

Code Counts: Manage The Damage

ThinkWood
International Code Council members stand as the first line of defense in applying building codes to the construction of safe, sustainable, and more affordable and resilient structures. The entire month of May pays tribute to that distinguished service with the 37th annual Building Safety Month. This installment of Codes Counts concentrates on the theme of week three of Building Safety Month: Manage the Damage – Preparing for Natural Disasters....

Code Counts: The Other Tall Building System

ThinkWood
A fast-growing circle of building designers of mid-rise (six to 12 stories) and tall buildings (up to 30 stories) have begun to specify a new building system that is the first viable alternative to concrete and steel mid-rise and tall building structures. The performance of this new building system meets or exceeds current material systems in strength-to-weight ratio and yet is just 25 percent of current material systems weight. Its safety record for seismic, fire, and wind resistive performanc...

The qualities that make engineered wood a high-performance, affordable option for low-rise office buildings, retail centers, and other commercial projects also make it ideal for safe, resource-efficient schools—perhaps even more so, considering the budgetary pressure and long-term energy concerns that school designers must take into account....

GD 5 How to calculate deformations in timber structures using Eurocodes
https://www.trada.co.uk/publications/other-technic... [Standards/Building code] [Report]
TRADA
Explains the principles of serviceability limit states set out in Eurocode 0 and shows how to apply them to structural timber members, assemblies and built-up components. Explains timber-specific rules given in Eurocode 5 relating to creep and joint slip. Recommends some deflection limits and provides simple worked examples....

Resin repairs to timber structures. Design examples to Eurocode 5

TRADA
This design guide gives a general overview of best practice guidance concerning resin repairs to timber structures. The guide supports and complies to the principles laid out in Eurocode 5 and covers the key points of repairing tension members, beam ends and eave joints. It only offers general advice and given that all adhesive repairs are different, therefore all structural repair calculations should be performed and checked by experienced professionals....

WCD 5 - Heavy Timber Construction
http://www.awc.org/codes-standards/publications/wc... [Standards/Building code] [Web Page] 2004
American Wood Council
Heavy timber construction is one of the oldest types of buildings used in the development of this country. Its superior performance has been demonstrated in thousands of buildings during the past hundred and fifty years, many of which are still in satisfactory use. As originally conceived, the heavy timber building was a multi-story structure, designed and used primarily for industrial and storage purposes. Today, its use has been expanded to include many other occupancies. It is commonly used f...
