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
