NHERI Converging Design
Outreach
Workshops
Researchers have engaged with academic and industry professionals through a series of workshops to help define and identify consensus-based metrics that inform a Converging Design Methodology, considering building resilience and sustainability as key parameters in lateral force-resisting system design optimization for mass timber construction.
Workshop 1: Functional Recovery
Date: April 11, 2022
Location: OSU satellite campus (Portland, OR) and online (zoom)
Purpose:
- Present, discuss, and solicit feedback on state-of-art functional recovery definitions and frameworks.
- Define a consensus-based group of recovery design goals and metrics for mass timber construction.
Workshop 2: Sustainability Metric
Date: September 22, 2022
Location: OSU satellite campus (Portland, OR) and online (zoom)
Purpose:
- Prioritize in a consensus-based manner sustainability metrics to be included in a Converging Design Methodology, specifically for mass timber construction.
