This regional in-person seminar and tour offers structural engineers an in-depth look at multi-family wood buildings. The presentation covers structural engineering considerations for four- to six-story structures, addressing gravity and lateral analysis, shrinkage detailing, floor vibration checks, stacked bearing wall loads, diaphragm flexibility, and shear wall design. Following the classroom session, attendees will tour Montana State University’s School of Computing at Gianforte Hall, a 55,000-square-foot mass timber facility. The tour highlights hybrid structural assemblies, construction sequencing, and detailing choices implemented on the finished academic building.
