The 2024 International Building Code (IBC) allows for construction of mass timber buildings with larger heights and areas than permitted for wood construction in Types III, IV-HT (heavy timber), and V. This course will provide a comprehensive overview of provisions for construction of mass timber buildings including Type IV-A, IV-B, IV-C and heavy timber used in Type IV-HT construction. Mass timber includes any structural element permitted for use in Type IV construction that meets minimum cross-section dimensions of Type IV Construction. Examples of timber products include cross-laminated timber (CLT), structural composite lumber (SCL), glued laminated timber (glulam), mechanically laminated decking (a.k.a. nail-laminated timber, NLT), and large section sawn timbers. Learn about provisions for mass timber construction per the 2024 IBC and 2024 International Fire Code (IFC). Research and development conducted in support of new tall mass timber Construction Types IV-A, IV-B and IV-C in the 2024 IBC will also be discussed. Topics include heights and areas, fire safety, fire and connection design, construction fire safety, special inspection, energy, acoustics and lateral design provisions.
