WHY PARTICIPATE

This course provides you with the essential technical skills to master the structural design of timber buildings, exploring regulatory references, calculation methods and case studies.

You will learn how to correctly design and detail timber connections, select the most suitable fastening systems, both traditional and innovative, and understand the behavior of different structural systems.

The program combines in-depth theory with practical application, including hands-on exercises and laboratory testing to reinforce key concepts. Beyond technical knowledge, the course offers direct interaction with industry experts and networking opportunities, creating a comprehensive learning experience.

CONTENTS

The course addresses the fundamental aspects of structural design for timber buildings, with particular focus on regulations, calculation methods, and practical applications.

Starting from material properties and behavior, it then analyzes traditional and innovative connection systems, the correct design of joints according to Eurocodes and ETA and strategies to ensure durability and long-term performance of timber structures.

The course also explores innovative solutions and case studies for timber and hybrid structures, providing participants with applicable knowledge for contemporary timber design challenges.

  • Different structural types: post and beam, CLT, and hybrid structures
  • Design, calculation and detailing of timber connections
  • Testing, analysis of failure modes and real-world case studies
  • Networking with industry professionals

AUDIENCE

The course is designed for those who want to develop advanced expertise in timber structural design and elevate their skills to industry standards.

It is ideal for professionals who want to:

  • Design timber buildings with precision, safety and long-term durability in mind

  • Learn how to design and calculate the connections, aligned with Eurocodes

  • Apply theory through practical exercises and lab testing

  • Connect with industry experts, expanding professional know-how and network
