Mass timber doesn't have to be the primary structural system to show up in a building. For teams that want wood in their projects but can't commit the entire building to it, partial integration is a viable path, and one that's more available than most teams realize. Kirby Beegles with Martin/Martin Consulting Engineers walks through projects where mass timber was integrated into a non-mass-timber structure, the code path and structural justification behind those decisions, and the specification, coordination, and detailing requirements that still apply when wood is part of the scope.

Learning Objectives:

• Identify where mass timber plays a role in buildings even when it isn't the primary structural system
• The specification, coordination, and detailing standards that still apply to a partial mass timber scope, and where they differ from a full mass timber build
• Examples of projects that successfully integrated mass timber into a non-mass-timber structure, and the lessons the from each
