What you’ll learn in this session
TIMBER WITHOUT GOING ALL IN.
01
Know where wood is allowed
How heavy timber, mass timber and regular timber differ in the code, and how IBC Table 601 footnotes open the door to wood in every construction type.
02
Look up at the roof
Why the roof is the easiest place to bring timber into a steel or concrete building, shown through 10 real projects in Types I, II, III and V construction.
03
Don’t skip the details
How to coordinate trade scope, tolerances, species, finishes and fasteners so a small timber scope doesn’t become a big problem on site.

Mass Timber Doesn't Have to Be All or Nothing
Kirby Beegles
Associate | Structural Engineer
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.
