WoodWorks' popular pre-conference 101 mass timber design workshop is back for 2024, with the addition of a new advanced workshop.
BASICS WORKSHOP: A Comprehensive Introduction to Mass Timber Design
When: Monday, March 26, 2024 | 12:00 PM – 4:00 PM
Where: Oregon Convention Center, Oregon Ballroom 204
Credits: Announced early 2024
Workshop tickets are $175 and in addition to the attendee pass required for all conference participants. Purchase a workshop ticket on page 3 of the registration form.
As mass timber transitions from novelty to mainstream, more architects and engineers are finding they need a full systems understanding of the unique design considerations associated with these types of structures. Intended for those new to mass timber design, or those looking to refresh their design knowledge, this workshop will take a step-by-step approach to the practical design and engineering of mass timber buildings. Breakout sessions at the 2024 International Mass Timber Conference will examine specific design and construction topics in depth, and this pre-conference workshop will equip attendees with the baseline experience needed to expand their knowledge in the main track sessions and start their own mass timber designs. Topics will include mass timber products, code compliance, fire resistance, new tall mass timber construction types, structural design and layout, connection detailing, acoustics, MEP integration, and more. Project examples throughout will also highlight and emphasize design solutions implemented on real structures.
