About the CPD 活動簡述:
Timber is an excellent building material, with a very high stress to weight ratio. Although timber structures have been extensively used for over thousands of years, they are prone to damage by fungus, insects, fire, environmental factors and misuse.
This 2-Day Course outlines the material properties, strengths and weaknesses of such material in the building structures. Survey techniques, repair methods to rectify defects, testing and strengthening will be presented. Protection techniques will also be presented together with case studies for the repair of the timber structures.
The course is technical yet only very basic structural principles will be presented and is very practical to suit practicing professionals. This is the rare opportunity for experience sharing with numerous examples based on the speaker’s experience in the timber building conservation practice in both Western and Chinese style buildings.
This course is almost a repeat of the 2-Day course held in November 2017 and 2018 and intended for those who missed the opportunity to attend the course. This course is intended to be a final one on this subject before the speaker enters into his retirement.)
