Exploring Connection Options for Mass Timber Projects to Ensure Structural Durability, Yet Efficiency of Construction
Time: 4:00 pm
day: Pre-Conference Day
Details:
This workshop is a one stop shop for all things connection design: exploring options for mass timber projects, addressing cost, integrity, emissions, and schedule impacts. It simplifies connection design while meeting manufacturer requirements.
Join this workshop to:
- Exploring the common types of connections that can be used, and how your decision of what to use can impact project costs, structural integrity, carbon emissions and schedule
- Working with manufacturers to define their requirements and simplify connection design without impacting overall project efficiency
- Clarifying the provisions that require sealants or adhesives at the intersection between mass timber members and how to navigate this with code officials
- Assessing alternative solutions to mass timber connections such as all wood joinery to keep up with industry innovations
