Description
The use of cross-laminated timber (CLT) as structural floor
and roof panels has seen incredible growth in the US over the past
decade. However, its use as part of a seismic and wind force-resisting
system—either as a diaphragm or shear wall—has not been codified to date. This
has resulted in designing CLT diaphragms through alternative means or using a
structural topping, such as a layer of wood structural panels or concrete,
as the diaphragm. This webinar will introduce new provisions for CLT diaphragm
design, in the recently published American Wood Council’s 2021 Special Design
Provisions for Wind and Seismic (SDPWS), which is referenced from the IBC 2021.
Following a discussion of the new SDPWS provisions, CLT diaphragm detailing
options and design examples will be presented in order to apply practical
design techniques and discuss structural detailing challenges and solutions.
