Description

With the current popularity of mass timber architecture, many structural engineers are finding themselves in the position of designing timber structures for the first time in their career. In many respects, engineering a timber structure is unlike engineering a structural steel or concrete building and it is easy to screw up. This informative and entertaining presentation will describe some of the challenges of timber engineering and how to avoid common pitfalls and mistakes.

Course will award 1.5 hours of continuing education
This course is Diamond Review approved in 49 states. New York does not accept hours from recordings.
