This session will help you to formulate effective floor and wall assemblies when designing wood structures, both light wood frame and mass timber.

Join us for a detailed discussion covering Architectural Assemblies in Wood buildings. This session will help you to formulate effective floor and wall assemblies when designing wood structures, both light wood frame and mass timber. Discussion will cover typical fire ratings and strategies, acoustic performance of different assemblies and effective strategies for weather-tight exterior envelopes. Background on typical structural assemblies for different grid sizes will help you understand how to effectively develop complete assemblies when designing timber buildings.

 

Learning Outcomes:

• Participants will understand how to formulate effective floor and wall assemblies for wood structures, including both light wood frame and mass timber, to optimize performance and design efficiency.
• Participants will understand typical fire ratings and the acoustic performance of various assemblies, and gain strategies to enhance the safety and comfort of wood buildings.
• Participants will learn how to design weather-tight, high-performance exterior envelopes for wood buildings.
• Participants will discover typical structural assemblies for different grid sizes and learn how to effectively develop complete assemblies when designing timber buildings.
