This presentation will focus on why it’s important for the design community to consider using more innovative wood technology in their designs. We’ll explore some of the different types of products that are available, as well as show project examples of where these products have been used. Webinar presented by Jerry Calara Technical Advisor Wood WORKS! Alberta.

If you are involved in buildings in any way, as a designer, builder or owner, tune in for a glimpse into structural systems and why wood use is evolving at an unprecedented rate.
Are you a developer/builder, architect, engineer, contractor, condo board member or property management company involved with light wood-frame buildings? Do you find you are sometimes frustrated with or concerned about: ?Acoustic complaints & Law Suits ?Customer negative perception of your building (ex; wood frame vs concrete) ?Code regulations (ex; need to reduce weight, acoustic requirements, etc.) ?Abundance of possibilities and
As part of its work related to wooden buildings, FPInnovations recently published a comprehensive technical Guide for designing timber-concrete composite floors in Canada. This construction technique could be an economically profitable solution for longer-span floors since the mechanical properties of the two materials are complementary. In this webinar, attendees will get an overview of the recently published guide, which contains
WoodWorks® Design Office is a structural engineering software package developed to simplify and enhance the wood design process. It allows designers to experiment and explore the feasibility of using wood in structural applications following the NBCC 2015 and the CSA O86-14. This workshop will discuss the capabilities of WoodWorks® Sizer, Connections and Shearwalls, and provides a brief overview of the
This webinar will cover two new free online tools developed by the Canadian Wood Council: CodeCHEK and FRR & STC Tool. Register today! CodeCHEK helps designers to determine if and when lightweight wood-frame, heavy timber, mass timber and/or encapsulated mass timber construction can be used, and to determine the applicable construction requirements related to fire safety in Sections 3.1 and
