Designing timber structures today requires more than understanding the material itself. Engineers and designers must be able to deal with structural systems, connection design, seismic requirements, fire safety and building performance as a whole.
This course offers a practical overview of these topics, combining technical presentations, design examples and real project experiences. Participants will have the opportunity to deepen their knowledge of timber engineering, learn from experienced professionals and discover how timber is being used in complex projects such as hospitals and large-scale hybrid buildings.
Alongside the technical content, the course provides a valuable opportunity to exchange ideas with academics, engineers and industry experts, expanding both professional knowledge and professional networks.
CONTENTS
This course covers the key principles of structural timber design, combining engineering fundamentals with practical design approaches.
Starting from material properties and behavior, it then analyzes traditional and innovative connection systems, the correct design of joints according to Eurocodes and ETA. The programme also addresses important topics such as seismic design, fire performance, acoustic comfort, durability and protection of timber structures.
Through practical exercises and case studies, participants will gain a better understanding of how design principles are applied in real projects, from connection detailing to the development of complex timber and hybrid buildings.
- Different structural types: post and beam, CLT, and hybrid structures
- Design, calculation and detailing of timber connections
- Insight on fire resistance, seismic design, acoustics and moisture management
- Networking with industry professionals
AUDIENCE
The course is designed for those who want to develop advanced expertise in timber structural design and elevate their skills to industry standards.
It is ideal for professionals who want to:
Design timber buildings with precision, safety and long-term durability in mind
Learn how to design and calculate the connections, aligned with Eurocodes
Apply theory through practical exercises and lab testing
Connect with industry experts, expanding professional know-how and network
