What’s Allowed? How to Maximize Building Heights and Floor Sizes in your Next Mu
https://www.thinkwood.com/news/whats-allowed-how-t... [Design/Architectural aspects] [Web Page] 2018
ThinkWood
To maximize the value of your multi-story project, you need to use code provisions to go beyond the base heights and areas permitted for mid-rise wood-frame buildings. There are a number of ways within the International Building Code (IBC) to increase the size of wood buildings....

Code Counts: An Introduction to Mass Timber
https://www.thinkwood.com/news/code-counts-introdu... [Standards/Building code] [Web Page] 2018
ThinkWood
A new method of construction is gaining traction, and it has the potential to take a natural material to new heights. Mass-timber framing is characterized by the use of large, solid-wood panels for floor, wall and roof construction....

ThinkWood
Engineering students from 18 universities in California, Nevada, Arizona, and Hawaii will get hands-on experience building with wood in the Timber Strong Design-Build competition. Timber Strong is part of the Pacific Southwest Conference (PSWC), the American Society of Civil Engineers’ (ASCE) annual three-day competition that challenges students to put their civil and environmental engineering skills to the test through a series of competitions. This year’s event takes place April 12 to 14 in Te...

WoodWorks Webinar: New for DoD Designers: Structural Design of Mass Timber Expos
https://www.thinkwood.com/news/woodworks-webinar-n... [Design/Architectural aspects] [Web Page] 2018
ThinkWood
Facilities constructed for the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) must often must be designed for blast loads in accordance with anti-terrorism requirements stipulated in UFC 4-010-01. As cross-laminated timber (CLT) and other mass timber solutions continue making inroads in federal construction projects, demand for a design methodology complete with response limits for CLT construction exposed to blast loads has emerged. This presentation will provide a primer on general blast design requirements...

How Wood Can Increase the Density of your Next Multi-Story Project
https://www.thinkwood.com/news/how-wood-can-increa... [Design/Architectural aspects] [Web Page] 2018
ThinkWood
While wood-frame construction is not new, forward-thinking developers are finding new ways to maximize density using wood-frame construction. As the country’s urban population grows, boosting density can help cities address housing shortages and affordability challenges. Wood-frame construction is a cost-effective option for mid-rise structures because it allows high density at relatively low cost, while providing other benefits such as construction speed, structural performance, design versatil...

How a Podium Design Can Maximize Value on your Next Multi-Story Project
https://www.thinkwood.com/news/how-a-podium-design... [Design/Architectural aspects] [Web Page] 2018
ThinkWood
Podium buildings are comprised of multiple stories of light-frame wood construction over one, or in some cases, two levels of concrete podium construction. Because the International Building Code (IBC) treats podium-style buildings as two separate structures built one on top of the other, this design boosts the number of potential stories you can build. Often, the concrete podium comprises one-story above grade, with two or more parking levels below grade. Podium configurations offer a great opp...
