SCDM71-316 Case Study: Analysis of Treet Timber Building Construction

This case study examines the engineering aspects of the "Treet - a 14-Storey Timber Residential Building," a tall timber structure. It delves into the materials used, including glulam and CLT, and assesses loading conditions on various floors. The analysis covers dynamic load calculations, wind load paths, and the vertical and horizontal structural systems. The study also explores fire protection measures, durability considerations, and the reasoning behind material choices like GLT and PSL. Furthermore, the report evaluates the footing system, strategies like the use of concrete shear walls, flooring systems, and earthquake resistance design criteria. The document provides detailed calculations and considerations for the design and construction of the timber building, including the determination of VR values for wind loading and the impact of different materials on the structure's performance.
