advanced engineering concepts in solid wood construction
DESCRIPTION
This presentation from the first US CLT Symposium Engineer Eric Karsh walks through advanced engineering concepts in solid wood construction. Karsh explains how solid wood construction is a different building system compared to the past stick frame construction. Solid wood construction’s structure behaves differently from both a design and engineering standpoint. The presentation highlights recent projects using solid wood construction, as the method continues to emerge as a growing trend in the industry.TRANSCRIPT
