Course Description
Due to their high strength, dimensional stability and positive environmental performance, mass timber building products are quickly becoming materials of choice for sustainably-minded designers. This presentation will provide an overview of the variety of mass timber products available, including glue-laminated timber (glulam), cross laminated timber (CLT) and nail laminated timber (NLT), with an emphasis on their resilience. Applications for their use in systems such as seismic post-tensioned, self-centering rocking walls; tornado and blast-resistant structures; hurricane and high wind-resisting systems; and fire and life safety elements will be highlighted. The environmental performance of these systems will also be reviewed, utilizing life cycle analysis (LCA) data to compare to other building systems.
Learning Objectives
1. Identify mass timber products available in North America and consider how they can be used under current building codes and standards.
2. Review completed mass timber projects that demonstrate a range of applications and system configurations.3. Discuss benefits of using mass timber products, including structural versatility, prefabrication, lighter carbon
footprint, and reduced labor costs.4. Highlight possibilities for the expanded use and application of mass timber in larger and taller buildings.

Nail-laminated timber (nlt) =
a structural panel of square-edged dimensional lumber laminations (usually 2x) set on edge and nailed wide face together• Recognized in IBC 2304.8.3 (mechanically
laminated decking)• Nds 15.1.1 provides distribution factors
for concentrated loads• Can be used for floor, roof decking.
Occasionally used for shaft walls
