Seismic Design – Appropriate Implementation of the Overstrength Omega o Factor (12:30pm – 2pm Eastern)
1.5 PDHs / 0.2 IACET CEUs
With many developers and architects exploring mass timber construction, there is a greater need for members of the design team to understand the unique considerations required to successfully implement these materials. This SEU presentation will give an overview of structural-related aspects of mass timber design, including materials, fire protection and ratings, connections, gravity and lateral systems, and diaphragms. Discussion will include building code considerations such as fire resistance and construction type selection, along with lessons learned from the presenter’s experience designing mass timber projects.
