WoodWorks
To end another great year in wood design and construction, we’ve rounded up all the new resources, including technical guidance, case studies, videos, and more, that our team has published this year into one comprehensive list.
Technical Guidance and Support
The CLT Diaphragm Design Guide gets top billing for its significance in mass timber design.
Developed collaboratively with experts in mass timber structural engineering, this groundbreaking publication provides guidance for the design of CLT diaphragms used as part of wind and seismic lateral force-resisting systems.
Expert Tips
