Hybrid Timber – Low Carbon and Long Spans
In 2021, EllisDon and DIALOG partnered on a large-scale research and development effort aimed at pushing the boundaries of mass timber construction and developing a low carbon, long span alternative to concrete and steel. The resulting Hybrid Timber Floor System (HTFS) combines cross laminated timber with post-tensioned concrete to unlock a 40-foot exposed timber span. The system is now in full scale prototype testing with patents pending in five countries.
In this technical session, Craig Applegath will share the origin story of the hybrid panel and Cameron Ritchie, Jordyn Tripp, Vincent Davenport, and Mark Gaglione will delve into what it took to develop, test, and commercialize this next-generation mass timber product.
