Information
The goal is to learn how to build a timber structure in a workmanlike manner, to learn and practice all phases of construction of a timber building, avoiding the most common mistakes on site and during the design phase.
The course takes place in an area where timber has always been part of the culture. It is quite a unique chance to get a wide knowledge on the theory and practice of a timber building. It consists of 16 hours of applied theory. Each practical moment will be accompanied by a theoretical explanation useful for understanding the construction phases of CLT 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
the installation of concealed connections
the laying of the membranes
the laying of tapes and profiles for airtightness
the correct hygrometric behaviour of the construction
the waterproofing of the building
on-site protection of timber-to-steel structures and connections
application of passive fire protection products
preventive measures on fall protection
Day 1
Assembly of a section of a timber building, from the foundations to the roof structure. The practical assembly phases are accompanied by theoretical explanations on the advantages of the different connections, the installation method, the resistance, the stiffness, the fire resistance and the ductility. In particular, the following details will be installed and examined: connection to the ground, postbases, concealed connections, hold-down and shear angle brackets, innovative connections.
Day 2
Conclusion of the full-scale section of the structure: waterproofing, airtightness and wind tightness.
Theoretical part relating to acoustic solutions for timber structures, the laying and choice of membranes and the correct taping.
Passive fire protection, measures designed to contain and limit the fire spread.
Timber-to-steel connections, multiple case studies analysed with a practical laboratory test.
Preventive measures on fall protection.
Carpenters who want to get a deeper know-how on timber construction, governing well both theory and practice.
Construction companies who want to train their workers through a practical and theoretical course (avoiding or reducing time-consuming training on the construction site).
Construction foremen and project managers.
Designers who want to touch the timber building site and understand its construction details.
Technical salesmen of the timber sector, because know what you are proposing to the client is the first rule to sell well.
