Utilizing Heavy Timber Construction in Modern Day Commercial Buildings
Speaker: Scott Lockyear, PE, WoodWorks
September 23, 2010 - 10am PDT | 11 am MDT | 12 noon CDT | 1PM EST
Register Online
Large wood members have long been recognized for their ability to maintain structural integrity while exposed to fire. Early mill construction from the 19th century utilized massive timbers to carry large loads and to resist structural failure from fire. This seminar will focus on the use of Heavy Timber Construction in modern day construction. Heavy Timber’s resistance to fire while still maintaining the aesthetic beauty of wood will be investigated. This will include discussion of what building codes require and how Heavy Timber may be utilized in non-combustible construction. In addition to fire endurance, basic concepts for design of the lateral and gravity resisting system will be considered. Analytical techniques for calculating fire endurance of exposed wood members will also be investigated. The goal of this seminar is to provide techniques for incorporating exposed wood into commercial construction while providing fire resistant construction.
This seminar offers 1.5 LU/HSW credits.
