On behalf of the industry it represents, The American Wood Council is committed to ensuring a resilient, safe, and sustainable built environment. To achieve these objectives, AWC contributes to the development of sound public policies, codes, and regulations which allow for the appropriate and responsible manufacture and use of wood products. We support the utilization of wood products by developing and disseminating consensus standards, comprehensive technical guidelines, and tools for wood design and construction, as well as providing education regarding their application.

Clemson University’s Wood Utilization + Design Institute (WU+D) was established in 2013 as a multidisciplinary engine of innovation where foresters, architects, engineers, constructors and building industry stakeholders coalesce to design advancements in wood-based construction materials to compete with steel, concrete and other materials currently used in nonresidential construction.

CLASS 4:2:30pm – 4:00pm // Outcomes of the ICC Tall Wood Ad Hoc Committee: Proposals and Discussion (DES 605 – 1.5 hours)*In early 2016, the ICC Board of Directors approved the creation of an ad hoc committee to explore the building science of tall wood buildings. Since that time, the ICC Tall Wood Building Ad Hoc Committee (ICC TWB) has reviewed voluminous materials regarding mass timber buildings, including the results of various testing and domestic studies in North America and around the world. In addition, the TWB developed its own test program, which was conducted at the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Fire Arms and Explosives (ATF) fire testing facility, in order to develop a comprehensive set of technically-substantiated code changes for consideration during the ICC 2018 Group A code development cycle. The intensive research performed by the Committee, as well as the details of the resulting proposals, will be presented. These changes were approved by the associated ICC code development consensus committees at the ICC Code Action Committee Hearings in April, and will be voted on in the fall at the ICC Public Comment Hearings and in the cdpACCESS governmental consensus voting. Included will be an introduction to cross-laminated timber and an overview of mass timber construction.
