The Master Classes will be held around Australia in April and May 2013.
The AS1720 Timber Engineering Master Classes offer practicing engineers an opportunity to develop design skills targeting timber in commercial buildings and structures beyond the scope of AS1684.
These classes have been developed in response to growing interest from architects, clients and developers in timber in commercial buildings and large structures.
By the end of the Master Class, participants will be able to:
• Understand the properties and behaviour of timber in structures
• Use AS1720.1 – design methods and have an awareness of AS1720.4 – Fire resistance for structural adequacy of timber members.
• Design timber members and connections.
• Be confident and inspired to use timber in their designs.
• Be aware of resources available to assist them with timber design such as websites, software, and contacts.
Through the use case studies, tutorials, instruction and interactive sessions to nurture knowledge and skills in timber use in buildings.
