As timber buildings grow steadily taller, innovative forms of construction have emerged; from traditional platform construction through to the innovative post-and-plate system. Effectively utilising the inherent structural properties of timber, post-and-plate construction can deliver significant benefits in material efficiency, layout flexibility, installation speed, reduced crane time, simplified connections and flat soffits, and supports service reticulation.
Join us for this WoodSolutions webinar during which Dr Richard Nero and Matthew Burke will provide their expertise and guidance to unlock the full potential of your next development using mass timber post-and-plate construction. Gain valuable insights into this innovative construction system.
Registration is free - earn CPD points by attending.
Dr Richard Nero is a researcher at the University of Melbourne in the field of sustainable construction materials and advanced timber systems. His work focuses on the development and behaviour assessment of high-performance engineered wood products and composite timber systems. Dr Nero will describe his research and how post-and-plate design can push timber design boundaries in building projects. Matthew Burke is a Chartered Structural Engineer and one of Australia’s leading specialists in mass timber design, with over a decade of experience delivering complex projects across the commercial, industrial, education, and residential sectors. Matthew will describe the design and implementation of post-and-plate systems in buildings and provide real-life case studies to demonstrate the case for using a post-and-plate system, the benefits, and indicative costs in comparison to the more traditional systems.
