Learning Objectives At the end of this program, participants will be able to:
1. To examine relevant IBC code provisions applicable to mid-rise podium structures. 2. To discuss the structural design challenges such as lateral load transfer, high vertical
loading and effects of shrinkage. 3. To explore the fire and life safety code requirements and the use of fire retardant
treated lumber. 4. To identify opportunities for implementation of new products and techniques.
Five story Timber over Podium Structure Fire and Life Safety
Parking Level Meets the definition of a basement , does not contribute to area or height limitation.
Ground Floor Type IA Construction – Occupancy S2, B, E, A2.
Allowable Height - Unlimited Allowable Stories - One Story Allowable Area - Unlimited
Podium (2-6) Type IIIB Construction – Occupancy R2 Allowable Height - 55’ Allowable Stories - Four Stories Allowable Area - 16,000 sf
Modifications to height
Use automatic sprinkler system to add one story and 20’ to allowable height.
Modified height Allowance (fire and life safety) = 75’
Structural height allowance for plywood shear walls = 65’
Both limitations need to be checked
Type IIIB details IBC 602.3 “Type III construction is that type of construction in which the
exterior walls are of non combustible materials and the interior building elements are of any material permitted by this code. Fire Retardant Treated Wood framing complying with section 2303.2 shall be permitted within exterior wall assemblies of a 2hr rating or less.”
IBC Tables 601&602 • Exterior Bearing Walls – 2hr • Exterior Non-Bearing Walls – 1hr (0hr if building separation>30’) • All other walls, floors, and roofs – 0hr
• The project I visited today was at Bethany Village in NW Portland. What I learned: • · Fire Retardant treated material looked surprisingly good, even the header stock (so I may
stand corrected on previous statement). • · Due to 25% reduction in structural capacity for FR treated lumber, more studs or heavier
columns needed in exterior walls for bearing. (Corrosion, Engineered Lumber – Scott) • · This was Washington County job, but they only required them to take the 2 hr ext wall rating
to top of the plate line at the upper floor. The ends of the trusses were not FR treated and they were not installing 2 layers of gyp on the interior side of the truss.
• · The end studs on all walls intersecting the 2 hour ext walls were held back 1 ½” so that 2 layers of drywall could pass through, both top plates were tight to the ext wall.
• · Any beams that intersected the exterior walls were required to have solid blocking inside the wall.
• · 1st layer of Exterior Dens was tacked on. 2nd layer was nailed with 2 ½” gun nails thereby eliminating nailing off each layer individually. Approved by structural.
• · I am attaching the 2 hour details used on this project but I think a 3x8 top plate ripped to 7” and cantilevered inside the wall to carry a top flange hanger would work better than this.
• · Floor plywood intersecting the 2 hour walls was not required to be FR treated material. • · Area separation wall that I observed appeared to be at least 3 hour and was framed with
shaft wall both sides with a seismic joint in the middle. • · All FR treated lumber is marked with a blue paint stripe. When the framers are nailing up the
exterior walls they need to make sure the paint is visible from the interior side (for the inspector) • Larry
Congested Exterior Walls = poor building envelope Consider using corridor walls to resist lateral forces
Consider using 3x or 4x studs at 24”oc at shear walls. Use more shear walls to minimize double sided. Avoid 4” walls unless absolutely necessary.
Continuous Threaded
Rod Holdown
Consider 1-1/8” T&G plywood flooring for blocked rigid diaphragm analysis.
Window Washing Davit Detail
No Cantilevered Wood Balconies! Knife plates below deck for maintenance
Brick Veneer supported off Timber • Already Fire Retardant Treated • Beware of solid sawn rim board • Joint often for seismic/wind • Joint for floor to floor deflection • 1” gypcrete, eco-roof, and brick
veneer creates heavy building (more plywood shear walls)
• Better than 30’ of brick off of podium for shrinkage compatibility
Be prepared for panelization
Prefabrication/Modularization using integrated modeling software • Can interface directly with computer controlled fabrication • Direct output of materials/order lists • High quality and low moisture content • High speed of construction. Follow on subs will control critical
path.

Design for deflection!
• Advanced Framing = 33% less shrinkage • Modified Balloon Framing = no solid sawn rim to shrink • On the Structural Plans, put a minimum of 3/16” to a ¼”
per floor shrinkage notation. Beware of shrinkage calculations that are significantly less that this. MEP needs to account for deflection.
• Be cautious of 30’ brick veneer supported on podium. • Use shrinkage compensating hold down system

Calculation of shrinkage is only an estimate and varies greatly
How about CLT? • Easiest initial commercial market is roofs
and floors until AWC incorporates into code (total system is still ok under AM)
• ~6” floor/roof panels will work in most multi-story apartment and affordable housing projects
• Eliminates small headers (two way action) • Low floor to floor • High floor performance • Fast installation
Typical CLT dimensions: Length: up to 60‘ Width: up to 15‘ 6“ Thickness: from 2“ – 12“
