Upcoming Webinar: After the Fire: Damage Assessment for Repair of Mass Timber Building Elements

 

The 2021 edition of the International Building Code includes comprehensive language for the design and construction of taller and larger buildings of mass timber construction. Owners, designers, and insurers of these buildings have raised questions and concerns about repairing them following a fire or other damage.

In this complimentary, one-hour webinar, Carl Baldassarra, Richard Kristie, and Timothy Costello will provide an overview of the methods used to assess structural damage and potential structural repair options associated with the impacts of fire and firefighting water on engineered mass timber construction. The presenters will review recent research on this topic, typical water demand used for firefighting, and case studies of mass timber repair projects.

By the end of the webinar, you will be able to:

  • Explain new criteria allowing taller and larger buildings of mass timber construction
  • Identify typical types of fire damage historically reported in mass timber buildings
  • Determine methods typically used to assess damage in mass timber buildings
  • Describe various methods of repairing mass timber buildings resulting from fire and water damage

There will be plenty of time for your questions during the presentation. Attendees are eligible for one American Institute of Architects (AIA) HSW Learning Unit.
