Advancing North American Mass Timber Projects: Harnessing the Strength of Local Expertise
As global adoption of mass timber construction accelerates, a growing number of solutions are available in the marketplace that can contribute to the success of your project. This session, presented by Simpson Strong-Tie, will explore some of the unique challenges faced by North American projects and some of the domestically developed solutions available to meet those challenges.
Learning Outcomes:
- Understand the need for greater tolerance on concealed beam hangers, the importance of ensuring connectors are easy to install, and the specific requirements for large elements in North American buildings.
- Understand the advantages domestic suppliers can bring to your project, including the rapid delivery of hardware to job sites.
- Learn about the necessity for effective installation tools and processes tailored to the scale of large North American projects.
- Learn about the need for effective moisture mitigation and the systems and strategies that can prevent unnecessary exposure of mass timber to the elements during construction.
