Now available to North American building designers cross laminated timber (CLT) offers the structural simplicity needed for cost-effective projects as well as benefits such as fast installation reduced waste improved thermal performance and design versatility Because of its high strength and dimensional stability it can be used as an alternative to concrete masonry and steel in many building types
This presentation will introduce CLT with a series of project examples that demonstrate its use and associated benefits in a range of applications Information on manufacturing specification and code-related considerations will also be discussed This presentation will cover some of the more challenging aspects of CLT building design including fire and life safety lateral and seismic design acoustic performance and building envelope Resources available to design and construction professionals such as the new US CLT Handbook will also be discussed

Hard to believe itrsquos already halfway through June Record rains in May and as I write this our first potential brush with a tropical storm this summer is developing in the Gulf Continue safe practices whether walking a job site or just travelling around town We are entering our summer break at SEAoT with the June meeting being our last meeting until September
On June 1st the 84th Texas Legislature adjourned and HB 3469 relating to the certification of structural engineers was left for dead in the Licensing and Administrative Procedures Committee but as I understand things it is not expected to make it out Based on comments at the May meeting no major engineer-affecting legislation of note passed during the last session Wersquoll see what develops in 2017
Our May 21st meeting was sponsored by RamsetRed HeadITW Buildex Company representative Don Buytaert gave a brief overview of the ITW product line and encouraged us to contact him with any questions particularly relating to code compliance of post-installed anchors Don can be reached at DBuytaertitwccnacom or 847-924-8367 Thanks again to ITW Buildex for their continued support
