Join us April 8th in Delta, BC for a seminar on mid-rise wood design, seismic requirements, and efficient structural layouts.

With recent Code changes resulting in more stringent seismic requirements, finding efficient and high-performing structural layouts is more important than ever. It is expected that Light-Wood Frame residential mid-rise buildings will be the most affected by these changes.

WoodWorks is teaming up with Weyerhaeuser and Simpson Strong-Tie for an engaging educational event to explore strategies to meet these increased requirements. This is a unique opportunity to participate in a discussion with suppliers, educators, and researchers on the direction of the industry. Have your voice heard!

Learning Outcomes:

• Analyze the most recent Code developments and how they affect the lateral design of light wood-frame mid-rise buildings.
• Review typical lateral layouts and strategies to mitigate increased seismic forces
• Explore different analysis methods and their effect on lateral force distribution.
• Discover alternate shearwall designs and how to review the construction of different solutions.
