Description

Tianfu Agricultural Expo Main Hall
At over 75,000m2 (807,000 sqft), the new Tianfu Agricultural Exposition is the largest timber structure in Asia, and one of the largest timber structures in the world. This series of five vaults uses hybrid timber-steel Vierendeel-inspired trusses, achieving clear spans up to 110m (360ft) and heights up to 44m (144ft).
The unique wave of the building ensemble blends gently into the landscape, displaying agricultural products from the region and providing a direct connection with the surrounding farmland. Through the cooperation of team members on 3 continents in 1.5 years, a series of world-class long-span timber structures was achieved.

Presented by: Lucas Epp, P.Eng., StructureCraft with Local Design Institute

Course will award 1.0 hours of continuing education for the live session only.
Each series registration is per person.
This will be available as a recording, with no PDH attached.

Thank you to our Sponsor!
