Introduction to Timber Frame Engineering: Design/Make/Break3 Days: Friday - Sunday, May 10th - 12th, 2024, 9AM - 5 PM
Tuition: $625.00
Ages: 18 & Up
Instructor: Joe Miller
Instructional Delivery Method(s): In person
Prerequisites: Basic math skills
Program Level: Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced
Program Description:
Starting with an overview on how to determine the forces and loads a traditional timber frame structure (or really any structure) will see over the course of its lifetime, the course focus will transition into sizing of beams, as well as a primer on basic joinery and connection design. In order to break up the class room portion, we will design a basic timber frame joint, calculate its allowable design strength, and then fabricate it out of timber. After the joints are fabricated, we will “bust” them by pulling them apart using a hydraulic load frame, with friendly bragging rights awarded for the best prediction of strength and best capacity. Experience in design or fabrication of timber frames is not required, but basic math skills will be handy. There will be something to learn for beginners up through experienced framers.
Learning Objectives:
Basic under standing of engineering processes
Understand of the limits of joints
Understand the limits of materials
Understand how those limits are found
Understand the different types of failures
Understanding of how to test and measure.
