As cities seek increased density as a way to address urban population growth, many building designers and developers are looking to mid-rise wood construction as a cost-effective, code-compliant and sustainable solution. This workshop is intended for structural engineers and architects who are looking to further their knowledge of design considerations for Type III and V wood-frame buildings. Topics will include code requirements for heights and areas, as well as options for increasing allowable size—such as open frontage, sprinkler systems, podiums, and mezzanines. Discussion will also include detailing wall and floor intersections for fire resistance, and structural engineering design considerations for configurations that include multiple stories of wood-frame construction over concrete podiums.
