Connections in Mass Timber Bracing Systems

Connections in Mass Timber bracing systems are often the most tedious, time consuming, and expensive aspects of design and assembly of timber buildings. Join us for a discussion with two of the most experienced FEA and fabrication-oriented engineers in the space from TimberXP. We will discuss the common pitfalls, lessons from their experience, and how to set up your team and design strategy to achieve a smooth, cost-effective execution of your mass timber bracing system.

Marco and Jesse formed TimberXP together, identifying a gap in the market addressing highly engineered mass timber systems. Marco established TimberXP after practising as a structural engineer for 15+ years with a focus on engineered timber and hybrid structures, having led the design of some recent cutting-edge timber masterpieces. With over 12 years industry experience, Jesse has specialised in advanced structural analysis and the design of engineered timber structures. He has been involved in the R&D of mass timber and hybrid structural systems at the University of Technology, Sydney, as well as through Cooperative Research Centre Projects (CRC-P) between Lendlease and Monash University involving innovation in mass timber for residential applications.
