Format: PowerPoint Video – Length: One Hour – Credits: AIA, all Canadian Provincial Architect Associations, BC Housing, EIC – Handout: Yes. This presentation will describe the development and implementation of innovative posttensioned timber systems for multi storey timber buildings.
037. Tall Composite Structures: the Right Material, Place & Time
By Benton Johnson. Course Number WWOL037, Year Created 2014. Format: PowerPoint Video – Length: One Hour – Credits: AIA, all Canadian Provincial Architect Associations, BC Housing, EIC – Handout: Yes. This presentation will discuss general principles of composite systems and how they were applied to SOM’s Concrete Jointed Timber Frame system which was documented in the recently released Timber Tower Research Project.
049. Seismic Response of Multi-Storey Timber Buildings
By Dr. Tobias Smith. Course Number WWOL049, Year Created 2015. Format: PowerPoint Video – Length: One Hour – Credits: AIA, all Canadian Provincial Architect Associations, EIC – Handout: Yes. This presentation will focus on low damage multi-storey timber buildings. After a major seismic event a low damage building should not only be intact but be usable with no or minimal post quake intervention. The presentation will illustrate how over ten new structures using post tensioned timber walls or frames, recently constructed in New Zealand meet this expectation. Opportunities for Canada will also be discussed.
