Information

WHY PARTICIPATE

What happens when learning leaves the classroom and hits the route of a world-class Gran Fondo? The variables that truly matter come immediately into play: control, adaptability and endurance – the very same qualities required in timber engineering. The result is a unique format that blends structural analysis, sporting activities, excursions and technical site visits in an exceptional setting: the Dolomites, where timber construction is part of a long-standing tradition.

  • Bike: registration for the Marcialonga Craft Bike is included in the program (a non-race option is also available).

  • Learn: one full training day focusing on the most relevant topics in timber construction.

Taking part is a truly one-of-a-kind opportunity: a long weekend combining professional training, local experiences and fully organised accommodation.

CONTENTS AND ORGANISATION

The course offers a comprehensive experience that brings together team-building activities, sport and technical training, with the aim of exploring the most up-to-date solutions in timber construction.

1 JUNE – Technical training

  • Introduction to the main timber structural systems: post-and-beam, CLT and hybrid structures.

  • In-depth sessions on:

    • connection design and verification

    • fire resistance

    • construction tolerances

    • bracing systems and critical detailing

  • Hands-on activities and laboratory testing on connection failure modes.

  • Analysis of joint durability and innovative solutions for hybrid structures.

  • Different structural types: post-and-beam, CLT and hybrid structures
  • Detailing of timber connections and innovations
  • Testing of timber connections and their failure modes
  • Durability, fire resistance and critical construction details
  • Case study analysis

AUDIENCE

The training day is ideal for professionals who want to:

  • Deepen their technical knowledge of timber construction

  • Learn how to design timber buildings with precision and long-term performance in mind

  • Engage in a comprehensive learning experience that combines theory, real case studies, exercises and LAB results in an informal exchange with instructors and fellow participants

Whether your role is in design, structural engineering, site supervision or construction management, the training offers content directly applicable to professional practice.
