Join us on Thursday, September 12, 2019 at the Danish Canadian Club of Calgary to learn more about the use of Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) in major construction projects with Dr. Azzeddine Oudjehane, PhD.

Presentation Summary

CLT is an engineered wood product in major construction projects that has disrupted the construction of high rise buildings globally. The race to build taller and higher with wood has been enabled by the high performances of CLT panels. The presentation will give an overview of the trends and state of the art in wood mass high rise contraction and highlight some of the sustainability and innovation characteristic of tall wood mass construction. A case study for a 10 storey building will be showcased.

This presentation will aim to deliver the following learning objectives:

• Review the trends and state of wood mass construction;
• Identify the performance of Cross Laminated Timber – CLT in construction;
• Recognize the challenges and opportunities to tall wood mass buildings;
• Demonstrate the construction value of tall wood mass construction.
