Abstract/Summary
The November 2019 Timber-Strong Design Build Competition, hosted by National Council of Structural Engineers Association (NCSEA), was developed by the American Wood Council (AWC), Simpson Strong-Tie Company Inc. (SST), and APA - The Engineered Wood Association (APA) to cultivate timber design, building, and sustainability experience for students. Participating students gained exposure to performance analysis, construction management, building practices, and project bid preparation while practicing as a design construction firm. In the process of this hands-on experience, students were expected to procure all building materials and tools themselves with some aid from sponsors. The goal of the competition was to provide meaningful insight and hands-on experience to students who will eventually become the next generation of industry professionals involved with sustainable design and construction.
The sponsors for this competition were: National Council of Structural Engineers Association (NCSEA), the American Wood Council (AWC), Simpson Strong-Tie Company Inc. (SST), APA - The Engineered Wood Association (APA), the Cal Poly SLO Architectural Engineering Department (ARCE), Lionakis, and C W Howe Partners Inc.
