A common feature of many successful mass timber projects is that their teams focused on design optimization early in design to effectively balance structural proficiency, aesthetics and cost.
WoodWorks will hold an Optimizing Mass Timber Designs for Application & Efficiency webinar on June 13th from 1 to 2:30 pm EDT.
This webinar will examine best practices that emerged during this process for the team designing an eight-story project in Portland, Oregon. TimberView is Portland’s first prescriptive Type IV-C building, and the architect and engineer will share what they did right, what they’ll do differently next time, and what surprised them when navigating this new tall wood construction type.
Topics will include impacts of building size, grid spacing, lateral systems, and product selection, as well as specific issues and their solutions.
As with many multifactored AEC processes, the appropriate software can promote increased efficiency and lead to better optimization through in-depth analysis. This presentation will also introduce a platform aimed specifically at mass timber design optimization and project delivery.
Taking part in this program are:
David Burnett, Access Architecture
Shirley Chalupa, DCI Engineers
Josh Dortzbach, , Forefront Structural Engineers,
Eric Guenther, SE – INTERSTICE
