Mass Timber Research Workshop
September 20, 2022 @ 8:00 am - September 22, 2022 @ 12:00 pm CDT
- In Person
Are you experienced with mass timber? Join fellow design and construction professionals for a two-and-a-half-day workshop on mass timber research, cross-laminated timber in particular, in Madison, WI. The purpose is to review past and present research, identify and prioritize new research needs and, in so doing, help shape future research efforts in North America.
The introduction of mass timber in North America has already proven successful. Design professionals are showing strong interest and support but have many questions related to its use. With more inclusion of mass timber in building and design codes, several solutions have been provided. However, questions remain—many of which require additional research to answer effectively.
