John Lawson, S.E.
A minority of university engineering programs teaches structural wood design on a regular basis, yet wood is one of the most common building materials in the United States. This seminar will give the basics behind designing building structures with solid sawn lumber and engineered wood members, including their connections and building code provisions for resisting lateral forces.
