SUMMARY:Multi-Family Wood Construction: Engineering Mid-Rise Buildings
DESCRIPTION:Regional Online Seminar (CO\, MT\, NE\, ND\, SD\, WY)\n\n\nThis presentation is intended for structural engineers who are seeking a full system understanding of unique design considerations associated with 4- to 6-story multi-family wood buildings. Developed in response to growing interest in these projects\, this presentation goes beyond code provisions and focuses on the “how-to” associated with their structural design. Topics will include structural design steps\, considerations\, and detailing best practices related to both gravity and lateral analysis. Shrinkage will be covered in detail\, including its cause\, effect on structural components\, and detailing best practices that minimize and accommodate shrinkage where it occurs. Gravity framing design will be discussed with an emphasis on two commonly overlooked topics: floor vibration and stacked bearing wall loads. Lateral design topics will include diaphragm design and flexibility analysis\, shear and overturning force transfer mechanisms\, and lateral displacement checks for stacked\, multi-story wood-frame structures. \n  \nSpeaker: \n \nEmmy Hoa Tran\, PE | WoodWorks \nEmmy is a licensed professional engineer in Colorado with experience in structural design for multi-family\, commercial\, and mixed-use projects.

SUMMARY:Tour of Junction and Goldfinch Lofts in Des Moines\, IA
DESCRIPTION:Regional In-Person Tour (Des Moines\, IA)\n\n\nThis unique educational event will provide an in-depth look at two mass timber projects redefining multi-family housing design in Iowa. The first project is Iowa’s first residential mass timber building\, Junction Lofts\, which is also the state’s first building to be awarded the US Forest Service Wood Innovation Grant for Environmentally Progressive Design. Attendees will also tour Goldfinch Lofts\, another mass timber/light-frame hybrid project in Des Moines. Goldfinch Lofts is the first Passive House-certified multi-family building in Iowa\, and will be the first Zero Carbon Certified (by Living Future) Low Income Housing Tax Credit project in the country. Team members\, including the developer behind both projects\, will join the tour and share strategies for successful\, code-compliant mass timber projects. The tour format encourages questions and discussion\, and attendees can expect to leave with insights into the project’s design\, detailing\, material selection process\, and construction techniques utilized throughout the building. \nFollowing the tour join us for a networking happy hour at nearby St Kilda from 4:00-5:30 pm. \n  \nCredits: Attendees can earn 2.0 AIA/CES HSW LU\, 2.0 PDH credits or 0.20 ICC credits \n  \nSpeaker: \n \nJason Bahr PE | WoodWorks \nJason Bahr\, PE\, has more than 20 years of experience as a structural engineer and a passion for sustainable building. He has a breadth of expertise in preparing structural calculations and design documents for educational building projects\, along with residential construction and remodeling experience. As a timber frame designer early in his career\, he gained an immense appreciation for the beauty and resilience of wood as a structural material. Always a creative problem solver and enthusiastic collaborator\, Jason has worked with multidisciplinary teams throughout his career to move forward impactful projects. Jason holds combined Bachelor of Science and Master of Science degrees in Architectural Engineering from Kansas State University. \n  \nTour Locations: \nJunction Lofts \n304 5th St \nWest Des Moines\, IA 50265 \nMap & Directions \nGoldfinch Lofts \n3402 Ingersoll Avenue \nDes Moines\, IA 50312 \n2:00 – 4:00pm \n  \nParking near Junction Lofts: \nPublic parking is available throughout Historic Valley Junction\, including street parking and public lots accessible from 4th and 6th Streets. Additional parking information and directional signage are available throughout the district. Please allow extra time to find parking. \nTransportation will be provided by bus between projects. \n  \nNetworking happy hour: \nSt Kilda Collective \n333 5th St \nWest Des Moines\, IA 50265 \nMap & Directions \n4:00 – 5:30pm \n  \nLearning Objectives: \n\nDiscuss typical construction practices for mass timber projects\, including safety best practices\, installation efficiency\, and coordination with follow-on trades.\nHighlight a variety of structural and architectural uses of mass timber and light-frame wood in hybrid design through an in-person tour of both an under-construction and completed project\, highlighting the biophilic benefits of exposed mass timber and sustainable benefits of wood framing for occupants and visitors.\nDemonstrate connection detailing techniques used in code-compliant mass timber buildings to ensure appropriate structural capacity\, fire resistance\, and consideration of the project construction type.\nExplain the diverse methods of project development and approaches used by the design team\, including owners\, contractors\, architects\, and engineers\, to achieve a successful mass timber project.\n\n  \nFor questions or additional information\, please contact: \nMary Schramka | mary.schramka@woodworks.org | 708.204.9578 \n  \nPhoto: Junction Lofts\, Pelds Design Services\, Tometich Engineering\, Photo Cutler Development

SUMMARY:Mid-Rise Wood Design: Light-Frame and Mass Timber Strategies
DESCRIPTION:Regional Online Seminar (TX)\n\n\nMid-rise wood construction offers designers multiple pathways to create code-compliant\, efficient buildings using light-frame and mass timber systems. This course compares these approaches and examines how construction type\, occupancy\, building height and area\, and project goals influence system selection. For light-frame buildings\, discussion focuses on maximizing the allowable building size using strategies such as sprinklers\, open frontage\, sloping sites\, podiums\, and mezzanines. For mass timber buildings\, the course highlights the impact of construction type selection and other early design decisions such as grid layout\, fire-resistance ratings\, and lateral systems. Built examples will illustrate how these decisions can support safe\, efficient\, and cost-effective mid-rise design. \n  \nSpeaker: \n \nMark Bartlett\, PE | WoodWorks \nMark joined the WoodWorks team in 2017. Before joining WoodWorks\, he spent 11 years as a consulting engineer\, eight years as a field engineer with Simpson Strong-Tie\, and six years in business development for an engineering firm. His structural engineering project experience includes retail\, hospitality\, education\, aviation\, theaters\, renovations of existing structures\, and post-installed anchorage to concrete. Mark received his Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering with an emphasis in structures from Lehigh University and has worked as a structural engineer in many capacities. He is a licensed Professional Engineer in the states of Texas and Oklahoma. \n  \nCredits: Attendees can earn 1.5 AIA/CES HSW LU\, 1.5 PDH credits or 0.15 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  \nLearning Objectives: \n\nIdentify different wood systems that can be used for mid-rise construction and how construction type\, occupancy\, height\, and area influence the selection of a safe and code-compliant wood structural system.\nApply code provisions for construction type\, allowable height and area\, sprinklers\, open frontage\, sloping sites\, podiums\, and mezzanines to maximize the potential of light-frame wood construction while maintaining required life-safety protections.\nEvaluate key mass timber design considerations including structural grid\, fire-resistance ratings\, and lateral-force-resisting systems and their influence on structural performance\, fire safety\, and occupant welfare.\nReview built projects to understand how code provisions and early design decisions can be integrated to achieve safe\, efficient\, and cost-effective mid-rise buildings.\n\n  \nFor questions or additional information\, please contact: \nMary Schramka | mary.schramka@woodworks.org | 708.204.9578 \n  \nImage: Water Marq\, Kelly Grossman Architects\, Greg Folkins Photography
