- Compile the background information for validation of preliminary creep factors for mass timber-concrete composite made with products of Canadian species.
- Develop an approach for conducting small-scale and/or full-scale testing of mass timber-concrete composite systems for floors.
- Quantify the performance of mass timber diaphragms in tall hybrid buildings subjected to lateral (seismic and wind) loads.
- Compare the economic and environmental metrics of a regular wood-frame building with a building designed for disassembly to support prefabrication and low-carbon construction.
