Mass timber design - connection design

Mass timber, particularly Glulam and Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT), is increasingly being adopted across the construction sector. Yet, it is one of the 16 structural typologies identified by the Institution as common higher-risk building (HRB) types. This series equips structural engineers with the knowledge to navigate these risks confidently and effectively. 

In this on demand webinar, presenters will share their expertise in designing mass timber connections across a range of case studies, touching on durability and fire risks when designing enclosed or exposed connections in mass timber structures. 

Reasons to watch

• Deepen your understanding of how connections govern the design in mass timber structures 

• Gain awareness of structural engineers’ responsibility when designing connections 

• Appreciate and mitigate the risks of designing timber connections ​
