Engineering Applications in Mass Timber Seminar Series – Minghao Li
June 15, 2022 @ 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm
FreeThis four-session online seminar introduces the latest developments and innovations in mass timber technology. Global research leaders in the field will discuss recent scientific findings in connections, seismic design, hybrid solution, and fire resistance of mass timber addressing design applications in modern timber structures. Attendees will learn about current advancements in material and technologies, and further integrate them to design-engineering applications. This seminar series is geared towards professional engineers and architects in BC.
Enhancing Seismic Performance of Glulam Frame Structures with Buckling Restrained Braces
Dr. Minghao Li is an associate professor in structural timber engineering at University of Canterbury in New Zealand. He has a strong research interest in developing robust structural solutions for timber buildings via experimental, analytical and numerical techniques. He has researched extensively on high-performance engineered timber products and connection systems, multi-storey timber and timber-steel hybrid structures. He is particularly interested in low-damage design of timber structures for earthquakes.
