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
What does it take to efficiently engineer and build mass timber buildings? How can timber be integrated into a project so that the structure is cost-competitive, while still maintaining the architectural vision, elegance and quality? We will explore these questions and also look at the features and key design parameters when using DLT, the all wood mass timber product. Larger

Melissa will discuss the role of the specialty structural engineer in glulam connection design for your project. Tips will be provided to help streamline the work of the project architect and engineer of record, and also highlight specific detailing situations to help construction run more smoothly. Glulam fabrication will be discussed: from chisels to CNC machines. Some examples will be
