Agenda, speakers and detailed information available here

To sum up
The course takes place with a mix of local professionals and structural engineers expert on the mass timber industry. It is quite a unique chance to get a wide knowledge on the theory and practice of a timber building. It consists of 8 hours of applied theory. Each practical moment will be accompanied by a theoretical explanation useful for understanding the construction phases of Cross Laminated Timber (CLT), solid wood and glulam (mass timber) structures. In the course you will work on a full-scale model on which you can experiment:
• handling of structural elements
• Installation of hidden connections
• Application of membranes
• Application of tapes and profiles for airtightness
• the correct hygrometric behaviour of the construction
• Waterproofing of the building
• Correct design and installation of the window to guarantee waterproofing, airtightness and wind-tightness.
