WoodWorks Index of Mass Timber Connections

This index is a compilation of connections used in mass timber construction. Depending on the unique constraints of each project, the connection choice made by the designer may be influenced by aesthetics, load carrying capacity, fire-rating requirements, quality assurance requirements, cost and/or constructability. The purpose of the index is to facilitate the designer’s selection of project appropriate connections. The index includes structural connections created for WoodWorks by KL&A Engineers & Builders in cooperation with Swinerton Builders.
