06.01.2022 Next free Tuesday webinar - Monitoring a Mid-Rise Timber-Framed Building for Movement and Moisture Update. Register: https://zoom.us//r/3216033448627/WN_iHIFBJ7mTb2uJ09-ZEf2BQ The performance of mid-rise timber buildings is new to Australia, and assumptions on moisture content, movement are based on small scale buildings. The research was carried out on an actual six-storey timber-framed apartment building, located in western Sydney, during its construction and occupation, ...to test these assumptions. The research objectives were to obtain real data on the temperature, relative humidity, moisture content of timber and the vertical displacement per storey. The research was successful in obtaining 18 months of data, and this presentation will provide this update. In addition, the structural engineer Sameed Khan from TTW will give a background to the design of the unique timber-framed and mass timber building.
