Building Tall with Wood – A Six Storey Case Study 

Light-weight wood framed construction has gained significant popularity over the past decade as a sustainable, cost-effective solution for low-rise multi-residential buildings. More recently, the push has been to extend the use of light wood framing to mid-rise construction for increased density on urban infill projects. In 2009, British Columbia amended their building code to allow five and six storey residential wood-framed buildings, and in early 2014 the Province of Ontario passed legislation to permit wood-framed buildings up to six storeys in the next Ontario Building Code amendment. In conducting a detailed literature review, SBM found that little research has focused on 3D analysis of these structures. This case study outlines the internal research conducted to analyze a six storey wood building under lateral loads for the purpose of developing a 3D “whole-building” modeling tool that will allow engineers to assess and optimize shear wall and diaphragm design, connections between structural elements, hold-down hardware, and building drift.
