The Wood Products Council 2014 Learning Objectives At the end of this program, participants will be able to: 1. Understand how a high-rise timber building can be designed to satisfy the intent of the code. 2. Recognize that the structure can be designed to support multi-story gravity and lateral loads while having minimal impact on the architectural, interior or building service designs. 3. Realize that the structural material quantities required for high-rise timber structures can be comparable to reinforced concrete structures with the proposed system, suggesting that high-rise timber buildings could be competitive with conventional high-rise construction. 4. Appreciate that use of the SOM-developed Concrete Jointed Timber Frame system allows engineers to apply tall building engineering fundamentals to the creation of a more efficient structure with a significantly reduced carbon footprint.
