INSTRUCTOR: Scott Brenenman, Ph.D., P.E., S.E., M.ASCE
Course Length: 1 hour
Sponsored by ASCE Continuing Education and the Structural Engineering Institute (SEI)
Purpose and Background
This webinar is intended for the structural designer of building systems seeking to learn how to design with cross laminated timber (CLT). Topics covered include application of relevant product and design standards including ANSI/APA PRG 320 and NDS 2015 to engineering problems. Specific attention will be given to the structural design of CLT in horizontal floor and roof roof framing systems and how to address important serviceability requirements related to deflection and floor vibration design. This webinar also covers the use of CLT as a compression element as in a bearing wall, design of CLT in lateral force resisting systems, with particular attention on diaphragms, and structural fire resistant design of CLT.
Primary Topics of Discussion
- Structural properties of CLT materials
- Strength and serviceably design of CLT floors and roofs
- Use of CLT as a component of lateral force-resisting systems for diaphragms
- Design of CLT in bearing walls
Learning Outcomes
Upon completion of this course, you will be able to:- Discuss product manufacturing and design standards relevant to CLT and identify where these standards are recognized in the International Building Code
- Application the structural design process of CLT floor and roof applications
- Determine how to design CLT floors to achieve serviceability goals related to deflection and vibration
- Explain the available capabilities and detailing of CLT within the lateral force resisting system of building applications
Webinar Benefits
- Discuss to the product standards for CLT and sources of structural engineering properties
- Learn how CLT design properties relate to floor and roof systems, and how to apply them to structural design
- Consider the basis of deflection and vibration design in order to address serviceability objectives with CLT floors
- Identify engineering techniques for using CLT in lateral force-resisting systems
- Learn how to apply engineering standard to CLT bearing wall design
- Understand how to design a CLT element to achieve a structural fire resistance rating
Students' achievement of the learning outcomes will be assessed via a short post-assessment (true-false, multiple choice and fill in the blank questions).
Intended Audience
- Structural engineers and designers
