This presentation is intended for designers of building systems seeking to familiarize themselves with the category of products known as mass timber, including cross laminated timber (CLT) and nail laminated timber (NLT). Topics will include manufacturing and product performance standards, structural design standards, and recognition in the International Building Code. Specific attention will be given to the design of mass timber in horizontal applications—i.e., as panels of floor and roof systems—and discussion will include how to address important serviceability requirements related to deflection and floor vibration design. Example projects and details will be presented to highlight possible applications of mass timber in building structures.
