Timber over Non-combustible Podium Structures
Scott Nyseth
Framed within the twin objectives of high performance and low cost, this presentation will focus on International Building Code (IBC) provisions and structural challenges associated with designing a podium structure. Opportunities to utilize advanced framing and cross laminated timber (CLT) will also be discussed. |

Case Study – Podium Designs and Mixed-use Mid-rise Structures
Matthew S. Church, P.E., Davis & Church, LLC
This session will highlight recently designed mixed-use wood buildings across North America. The discussion will focus on some of the critical aspects of their structural design, including material species and grade selection, an economical approach to lateral load transfer and effects of wood shrinkage. Examples of Type III and Type V construction, as defined by the International Building Code, will be discussed along with their inherent structural challenges. Other topics will include rigid wood diaphragm design, stud wall design and the impacts of using fire-retardant-treated lumber. |

Non-structural Provisions for Multi-story Wood-frame Buildings
James Churchill, PE, Churchill Engineering, Inc
This presentation will focus on the design-build process as it relates to complex and highly visual structures featuring the prominent use of wood. Examples will include the new Arena Stage at the Mead Center for American Theater, which is the first heavy timber structure of its size to be built in modern Washington, D.C., and the Olympic Speed Skating Oval in Richmond, British Columbia, which features a six-acre, free-spanning wood roof. |

Using a Wood Podium in Mixed-use Design:
An Architectural Case Study
Michael F. Malinowski, AIA/Lincoln A. Mortensen, Applied Architecture Inc.
Mixed use buildings in an urban setting often combine
parking and retail uses on the ground level with residential
uses above—and maximizing the amount of wood in these
structures can provide substantial value for the community,
environment and development team. This presentation will
showcase an all-wood podium building recently completed
as part of a successful redevelopment project in the
Sacramento Valley. Topics will include opportunities and
challenges associated with wood use in mid-rise design,
including code analysis, occupancies, structural considerations, management of the design for longevity,
and sustainability.. |
