A New Path Forward for Tall Wood Construction + Michigan State University STEM Facility Site Tour
Seminar, 10:00 am – 12:30 pm EDT
Modern building products and evolving codes have opened the door to many new opportunities for construction, one of which is tall wood. In 2019, the International Code Council (ICC) approved a set of proposals to allow tall wood buildings of up to 18 stories as part of the 2021 International Building Code (IBC). This presentation will provide an in-depth review of the tall wood code provisions, from a review of the technical research and testing that supported their adoption to the methods of addressing the new requirements.
