Big news: you can now design with Eurotec screws on the CLT Toolbox Platform for Europe & Australian New Zealand 🤝! EuroTec GmbH is a leader in high-tech connection solutions that empower the mass timber industry. Eurotec manufactures its own fasteners in Hagen, Germany, and distributes them worldwide. As a leader in fastening technology, Eurotec provides high-quality, innovative solutions specifically tailored for timber structures. Their expertise and commitment to sustainability make them the ideal partner as we expand our offerings in the mass timber sector. In February, we shared on LinkedIn our plans to focus on connection designs, and Joern Rueschenschmidt has been instrumental in driving this partnership to fruition. Ringo Thomas had the privilege of visiting Eurotec's factory, where he met key team members and built the beginning of a long term relationship for a thriving partnership. Together, we're committed to expanding the mass timber market.   Eurotec is a powerhouse in connection production, offering a comprehensive range of fastening systems for timber and concrete construction. Their dedication to quality and innovation ensures that all products are ETA-certified, aligning perfectly with our goals.   With Eurotec screws now integrated into our platform, engineers can design with precision, adhering to the specific ETAs of each screw type. Our platform includes the full range of Eurotec screws, making it easier than ever to incorporate them into your projects. We'd like to also extend our thanks to Rodrigo, Musaab & Ömer who helped with software reviews & the integration of the products. Engineers can now design with Eurotec screws on the CLT Toolbox platform today! #eurotec #clttoolbox #structuralengineering #masstimber

⚠ NEW TECH NOTE ALERT ⏩ ⏩ ⏩ Basic density, oven-dry density, nominal density, test density, characteristic density; what do they all mean and which should I use? The latest Technical Note from Timber Design Society and Timber Unlimited is here to help you answer these questions. Download it here: https://lnkd.in/g9UZB2qf   Timber is a hygroscopic material which means it takes on and releases moisture in response to changes in the atmospheric and environmental conditions that it's in. Consequently, the mass (and volume) of a given piece of timber can change depending on its moisture content at any given time.    Additionally, there are various Standards for measuring and reporting timber density. It is, therefore, critically important that you use the correct density for the design or specification task you may have in hand. This new Tech Note demystifies the density terminology and associated Standards and provides guidance on what density you should use for specific purposes. Don't forget, we also have two other tech notes available for you, for free - check them out here: https://lnkd.in/da2TvgRx   As always, your feedback via the Timber Unlimited website is welcome.

Yesterday marked another milestone in our journey of championing timber excellence with the second instalment of our 'Let's Talk Timber' Advanced Workshop in Auckland, focussing on Fire Safety and Design! The workshop's objectives were to clarify what is required to develop compliant fire designs for timber buildings and build confidence among designers, including raising awareness of and upskilling with the use of the newly available guidance documents: https://lnkd.in/dc4Cs-Bz Thanks to all that attended, and a special shout out to High Performer Building for hosting us, and to the speakers and mentors - Andy Buchanan, Jeremy Smith, Ed Claridge, Martin Feeney, Jon Harris, Amy Harper, Colleen Wade, Jaimie Whitehead, Lisa Oliver, Daniel Pau and Dennis Pau. The learnings and contributions made during these workshops will be compiled into publications that will be made accessible to the broader industry. In the meantime, here's a glimpse of the team in action. 📸 #timber #LetsTalkTimber #WorkshopSeries #TimberExcellence #CollaborativeLearning #IndustryAdvancement #AucklandEvent #Networking #KnowledgeSharing
