SUMMARY:Tall Mass Timber: Code Developments and Differential Material Movement
DESCRIPTION:Regional In-Person Seminar (Waltham\, MA)\n\n\nExploring Tall Wood: New Code Provisions for Tall Timber Structures \nAs interest in and use of mass timber in the U.S. has grown\, so too has interest in pushing these timber structures to greater heights. Prior to the 2021 International Building Code\, Using international examples of successful tall wood buildings as precedent\, some designers have proposed tall wood projects in the states using a project-specific performance-based design approach. In order to provide a uniform set of code provisions for these tall wood buildings\, the International Code Council established an ad hoc committee on tall wood buildings that proposed a set of code changes allowing up to 18 stories of mass timber construction. Those code changes were announced as approved in January 2019 and will become became part of the 2021 International Building Code. Following a brief discussion of history and motivators\, this presentation will introduce the new tall wood code provisions and construction types\, as well as the technical research and testing that supported their adoption. \nDifferential Material Movement in Tall Mass Timber Structures \nAs the height of mass timber buildings continues to grow\, so too does the level of design and detailing knowledge required to achieve optimal building construction and performance. One necessary consideration for tall mass timber buildings is vertical movement—including column shrinkage\, joint settlement and creep. The main concerns are potential impacts on vertical mechanical systems\, exterior enclosures\, and interior partitions\, as well as differential vertical movement of the timber framing systems relative to building elements such as concrete core walls and exterior facades. This presentation will analyze reasons for vertical movement (short and long term)\, provide methods of calculating anticipated movement\, highlight detailing options to minimize and accommodate movement\, and discuss strategies implemented on tall mass timber projects completed in North America. \nAfter the seminar\, join us for Q&A and lunch. \n  \nSpeaker: Patrick Duffy\, PE | WoodWorks \n  \nCredits: Attendees can earn 2.0 AIA/CES HSW LUs\, 2.0 PDH credits or 0.2 ICC credits \n  \nLocation: \nHilton Garden Inn Boston/Waltham \n450 Totten Pond Rd \nWaltham MA 02451 \nFree on-site parking \n  \nFor questions or additional information\, please contact: \nLeeAnn Charpentier\, CMP | leeann.charpentier@woodworks.org | (301) 633-0330 \n  \nImage: 111 East Grand / Neumann Monson Architects / Raker Rhodes Engineering / StructureCraft / Photo Mike Sinclair

SUMMARY:Mass Timber: Early Design Decisions & Tall Wood Code Provisions
DESCRIPTION:Regional In-Person Seminar (St. Louis\, MO)\n\n\nEarly Design Decisions: Priming Mass Timber Projects for Success \nMass timber is a unique\, non-commodity building material and\, to lay the groundwork for success\, certain critical decisions must be made as early as possible. These decisions can have a big impact on cost and can either increase or limit opportunities later in design. There are many cases of project teams that want to realize the full benefits of mass timber\, but\, because they base their designs on traditional building practices instead of optimizing them for mass timber\, end up with avoidable price premiums. This presentation will walk through early project decisions and design steps\, focusing on how to optimize projects for mass timber and how one early decision can influence others. Topics will include construction types\, fire ratings\, column grids and beam/panel spans\, acoustics\, and MEP integration. Completed mass timber projects will be used to illustrate the variety of viable options when navigating these key decisions. \nExploring Tall Wood: New Code Provisions for Tall Timber Structures \nAs interest in and use of mass timber in the U.S. has grown\, so too has interest in pushing these timber structures to greater heights. Using international examples of successful tall wood buildings as precedent\, some designers have proposed tall wood projects in the states using a project-specific performance-based design approach.

SUMMARY:A Path Forward for Tall Wood Construction: Code Provisions & Design Steps
DESCRIPTION:Regional In-Person Seminar (Cedar Park\, TX )\n\n\nWe are at an exciting confluence in timber construction. The need for sustainable\, urban construction has never been higher. Concurrently\, mass timber products such as cross-laminated timber have opened the door to many new opportunities for construction\, one of which is tall wood. In January 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 introduce the new tall wood code provisions in depth. Starting with a review of the technical research and testing that supported their adoption\, it will then take a detailed look at the new code provisions and methods of addressing the new requirements. Topics will include fire-resistance ratings and allowances for exposed timber\, penetrations\, sprinklers\, connections\, exterior walls and much more. Designers can expect to take away the knowledge they need to start exploring tall wood designs on their projects.  \nAustin has adopted the 2024 International Building Code (IBC)\, which includes provisions allowing for more exposed wood in Type IV-B buildings. Specifically\, the 2024 IBC permits 100% exposed timber ceilings in Type IV-B construction\, a significant increase from the 20% allowance in the 2021 IBC. This change\, based on fire testing results\, provides more design flexibility while still requiring careful planning to meet fire resistance standards. Austin’s adoption of the 2024 codes\, including the IBC\, took effect on July 10\, 2025. \nPlease join us for lunch during the break. \n  \nSpeaker: Mark Bartlett\, PE | WoodWorks \n  \nCredits: Attendees can earn 2.0 AIA/CES HSW LUs\, 2.0 PDH credits or 0.2 ICC credits \n  \nLocation: \nCedar Park Public Library \n425 South Parkwest Drive Cedar Park\, TX 78613 \nDirections \nEvent Parking: free \n  \nFor questions or additional information\, please contact: \nJaime Krohn\, CMP | jaime@woodworks.org | (312) 841-8272 \n  \nPhoto credit: City of Cedar Park\, LAKE FLATO \n**This is not a City of Cedar Park or Library sponsored event.

SUMMARY:Frame it Right: Optimizing Size & Framing Efficiency in Mid-Rise Buildings
DESCRIPTION:Regional In-Person Seminar (Buena Park\, CA)\n\n\nIncreasingly\, building designers and developers are looking to mid-rise wood construction as a cost-effective and sustainable solution for commercial and multi-family buildings. This presentation will review the allowable construction types\, with an emphasis on the opportunities and advantages of using light-frame wood in Types III and V. Presenters will cover design considerations associated with these projects\, including how to maximize height and area through the use of sprinklers\, open frontage\, sloping sites\, podiums\, and mezzanines. Common framing methods will also be discussed in the context of ensuring that projects are designed to be structurally sound\, constructable\, and code compliant. \nIncludes lunch. Seminar ends at 12:50 followed by lunch and Q&A. \n  \nSpeakers: \nMike Romanowski\, SE | WoodWorks \nLindsey Kuster\, PE | APA – The Engineered Wood Association \n  \nCredits: Attendees can earn 2.0 AIA/CES HSW LUs\, 2.0 PDH credits or 0.2 ICC credits \n  \nLocation: \nWestern States Carpenters Training Fund\, \nBuena Park Training Center \n7111 Firestone Blvd. Classroom 2 \nBuena Park\, CA 90621-8447 \nFree parking available (south lot recommended) \nDirections \n  \nFor questions or additional information\, please contact: \nJaime Krohn\, CMP | jaime@woodworks.org | (312) 841-8272 \n  \nImage: Stella\, DesignARC\, Taylor and Syfan\, Photo Lawrence Anderson/Esto

SUMMARY:A New Path for Mass Timber Construction: Code Provisions & Design Steps
DESCRIPTION:Regional Online Seminar (PA & NJ)\n\n\nWe are at an exciting confluence in timber construction. The need for sustainable\, urban construction has never been higher. Concurrently\, mass timber products such as cross-laminated timber have opened the door to many new opportunities for construction\, one of which is tall wood. In January 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 introduce the new tall wood code provisions in depth. Starting with a review of the technical research and testing that supported their adoption\, it will then take a detailed look at the new code provisions and methods of addressing the new requirements. Topics will include fire-resistance ratings and allowances for exposed timber\, penetrations\, sprinklers\, connections\, exterior walls and much more. Designers can expect to take away the knowledge they need to start exploring tall wood designs on their projects. \n  \nHost: Shannon Williams\, PE | WoodWorks \n  \nCredits: Attendees can earn 2.0 AIA/CES HSW LUs\, 2.0 PDH credits or 0.2 ICC credits \n  \nOnline Attendees: \n\nWoodWorks will send each attendee a certificate of completion within 2 weeks via email.\nPlease note that to receive a certificate\, attendees must stay for the duration of the event.\n\n  \nFor questions or additional information\, please contact: \nLeeAnn Charpentier\, CMP | leeann.charpentier@woodworks.org | (301) 633-0330 \n  \nImage: Edelman Fossil Park & Museum of Rowan University / Courtesy of Edelman Fossil Park & Musesum of Rowan University / Western Archrib / Ennead ARchitects
