Overview
Stay ahead of evolving timber design standards. In this webinar, explore key updates in Second Generation Eurocode 5, covering structural design rules, timber connections, and fire design for engineered timber structures, directly from an expert involved in its development.
Course Highlights
Understand how the Second-Generation Eurocode 5 (EC5 Gen2) key updates affect structural design and fire safety considerations for Mass Engineered Timber (MET) structures.
You will learn to:
• Identify key changes introduced in EC5 Gen2, including updated materials and products covered under EN 1995.
• Explore updated design approaches for structural members, stability verification, and timber connections.
• Understand the European charring model and updated thermal degradation parameters.
• Apply tabulated design data and the effective cross-section method for structural fire verification.
• Understand the separating function method and connection design considerations under fire conditions.
