Course Overview
Timber Design:
At the end of this course, participants will know how to carry out the design of engineered wood structures in accordance to the Canadian standard O86-19 within the GSE software environment:
- Design code parameters
- Materials and properties specific to wood
- Simple and built-up wood sections (sawn lumber, glued laminated timber, structural composite lumber)
- Attributes of wood members: modification factors, supports, notches
- Lateral buckling supports for beams and buckling supports for columns
- Recalculate command
- Curved glued laminated beams
- Load combinations and load duration factor
- Analysis, results, and reports
- Re-Design function
Light-Frame Wood Design:
By the end of this course, participants will know how to model and perform the design of Light-Frame Wood according to the Canadian standard O86-19 within the GSE software environment. The course will cover the following topics:
- Library of openings
- Creation of walls
- Wall Attributes
- Generation of walls
- Fictitious elements and junction between walls
- Shear wall resistance
- Floor vibration, truss and diaphragms resistance
- Analysis and design
