About the Event
Due to their high strength, dimensional stability and positive environmental performance, mass timber building products are quickly becoming materials of choice for sustainably minded designers. This presentation will provide a detailed look at the variety of mass timber products available, including glue-laminated timber (glulam), cross laminated timber (CLT), nail laminated timber (NLT), heavy timber decking, and other engineered and
composite systems. Applications for the use of these products under the 2021 International Building Code (IBC) will be discussed, and examples of their use in U.S. projects reviewed.
Mass timber's ability to act as both structure and exposed finish will also be highlighted, as will its performance as part of an assembly, considering design objectives related to structural performance, fire resistance, acoustics, and energy efficiency. Other topics will include det ailing and construction best practices, lessons learned from completed projects and trends for the increased use of mass timber products in…
