This regional online technical session examines the structural design of four- to six-story multi-family wood buildings. Led by Emmy Hoa Tran of WoodWorks, the presentation goes beyond standard building codes to address practical engineering workflows for gravity and lateral analysis. Key subjects include wood shrinkage causes and mitigation detailing, floor vibration checks, and stacked bearing wall loads. The course also evaluates diaphragm flexibility, shear wall configurations, overturning force transfer mechanisms, and fire retardant-treated wood assemblies for Type III construction, offering structural engineers essential guidance for mid-rise wood projects.
