Course Title: Engineered Lumber Design and Construction

Delivery Method: Live Online

Course Description: This course analyzes the different types, characteristics and applications of various engineered lumber products (ELP), as well as building design and construction using these products. Products of focus include glued laminated lumber, structural engineered lumber (LVL/PSL/LSL), pre-fabricated wood I-joists, and wood structural panels. The course concludes with a discussion on connections in ELP and ELP in software.

Learning Objectives:

Learning Objective 1:
Learners will be able to discuss the types and differences of various products, including wood materials, engineered lumber, structural and non-structural, one-way and two-way products, and their advantages and disadvantages.

Learning Objective 2:
Learners will be able to explain how glued laminated lumber is manufactured, its applications in buildings, the use of specialized forms (curved and PTC), and special considerations.

Learning Objective 3:
Learners will be able to explain how structural engineered lumber is manufactured and identify its applications in buildings, proprietary designs, NDS design methods, and special considerations.

Learning Objective 4:
Learners will be able to discuss pre-fabricated wood I-joists, wood structural panels, connections in engineered lumber products, and ELP in software.
