CLT and Massive Timber Building Seminar
Timber Products and Systems for the Commercial Building Market
Massive timber buildings made from CLT, LVL and Glulam have revolutionised the use of structural timber in commercial buildings across the world. This was seen in Australia with the recently completed world’s tallest modern timber apartment (10 storey) building in Melbourne.
This series of presentations is intended to explore this new frontier in timber design and construction. The presentations will discuss; essential design issues for a successful CLT building and what makes a CLT solution more economical over other building systems; explore the use of large span floor systems in LVL and Glulam; present some exciting new design tools as well as dealing with important fire and acoustic code compliance issues. The presentations will also include a discussion on timber screws, the new way to join timber economically.
The discussion will include:
· Key design decision for a successful CLT building
· Timber screws, the new way of joining massive timber
· LVL cassette long span floor systems
· Fire and acoustic consideration
· Product availability, fabrication and supply
Our expert panel of speakers will concisely identify critical issues and provide some unique insights into the design of massive timber buildings and then invite discussion and debate from the floor.
This seminar is a must for those in the design and development industry and guests will be welcome to stay for networking drinks and canapés at the conclusion of the event.
