Course Overview
Mass Timber has arrived in the world capital infrastructure marketplace while architects and structural engineers are trying to get educated about how to design with this new advanced engineered wood material. This paper discusses three important aspects of mass timber design in outdoor and indoor (wet and dry service) conditions as well as important design questions such as major and minor axis horizontal shear as it relates to column and wheel point loads. Other design considerations will be discussed as well.
Learning Objectives
- Mass timber design details for outdoor and indoor environmental exposure.
- Point loads due to column loading in mass timber systems both post and beam and CLT and simple platform and column.
- Fire resistance ratings and advanced materials in mass timber buildings
- Minor and major axis shear characteristics of CLT and impacts on design considerations for civil infrastructure.
