This full day workshop is designed for structural engineers looking for an opportunity to learn more about lateral load and design of wood structures.
In this workshop you will:
- Be introduced to the development of loads according to the National Building Code (NBCC)
- Learn about the most recent lateral design provisions based on the wood design standard (CSA O86-19/24)
- Develop proficiency in lateral design including mid-rise and hybrid buildings
- Be introduced to advanced design concepts, including lateral load distribution based on flexible and rigid diaphragm assumptions, distribution within wall lines based on stiffness of wall panels, eccentricity and torsional moment, capacity-based design considerations, and more
- Be introduced to the new provisions for cross-laminated timber shearwall provisions
