Course Description: The 2021 International Building Code permits the construction of tall mass timber buildings with greater heights and areas than previously allowed in Types III, IV, and V construction. This course will provide an overview of mass timber, including any product currently permitted for use in Type IV (heavy timber) construction such as cross-laminated timber (CLT), structural composite lumber (SCL), glued laminated timber (Ghulam), mechanically laminated decking (also known as nail-laminated timber, NLT), and large section sawn timbers. Learn about provisions first introduced in the 2015 and 2018 IBC for mass timber construction, as well as an overview of tall mass timber construction per the 2021 IBC and 2021 International Fire Code. Research and development supporting the new tall mass timber Construction Types IV-A, IV-B, and IV-C in the 2021 IBC will also be discussed. Topics include: heights and areas, fire safety, fire and connection design, construction fire safety, special inspection, energy, acoustics, and lateral design provisions.
