While it s common to choose construction type based on structural material i e to assume that steel and concrete structures should be type ii light frame wood should be type v and exposed heavy mass timber should be type iv this approach can lead to additional costs.

Mass timber construction type. Mass timber type iv a type iv b and type iv c. Type iv construction heavy timber ht is that type of construction in which the exterior walls are of noncombustible materials and the interior building elements are of solid or laminated wood without concealed spaces. Post and beam mass timber systems are a popular choice and resemble the common approach used in historic heavy timber buildings of the past.

This presentation will provide an overview of mass timber which includes any product currently permitted for use in type iv heavy timber construction such as cross laminated timber clt structural composite lumber scl glued laminated timber glulam mechanically laminated decking aka nail laminated timber nlt and large section sawn timbers. This section creates three new construction types. The details of type iv construction shall comply with the provisions of this section.

Allowable area the process for determining allowable area was similar that for height and number of stories. The table below illustrates how the new tall mass timber construction types iv a iv b and iv c compare to existing types i a i b and iv ht in terms of allowable building size. Heavy timber is associated with a type of construction type iv so there s a little bit of a definition overlap between a type of construction and a material.

Summary of the tall mass timber code changes. Today mass timber products can be formed by mechanically fastening and or bonding with adhesive smaller wood components such as dimension lumber or wood veneers strands or fibres to form large pre fabricated wood elements used as beams columns arches walls floors and roofs. New types of construction.

Based on these proposals the 2021 ibc will include three new construction types. The various types of mass timber products include think wood 2017. Nail laminated timber nlt.

Type iv b maximum 12 stories limited area of exposed mass timber walls and ceilings allowed. Similar to clt nlt panels are created from dimension lumber stacked on edge but instead of glue it is fastened with nails or screws to create a larger structural panel. In contrast to conventional concrete and steel systems that tend to follow standard templates mass timber systems offer the potential for greater flexibility albeit not without some challenges.

Whereas mass timber is. For mass timber projects selection of construction type is one of the more significant design decisions. Type iv a maximum 18 stories with noncombustible protection on all mass timber elements.
