Full course description
Introduction to Hybrid Timber Construction (this is not a self-paced course)
October 14 – 25, 2024
This course enables participants to overview hybrid timber-based construction.
The primary learning and competency outcome are the following:
- Become familiar with the physical and mechanical behaviour of different wood products commonly adopted in hybrid systems
- Understand the metamorphosis of hybrid timber construction, from seeking aesthetic augmentation and biophilic design of buildings to structural performance enhancements and optimization of the building components
- Be aware of possible timber-based hybrid structures and subcomponents
- Be able to select structural forms and wood products for large-span applications in relation to the design and construction requirements under both standard and complex loading conditions, as well as transportation, logistics and on-site operations
