Repair Design for New and Existing Wood Trusses
October 15-17, 2008
Virginia Tech University, Blacksburg, VA, USA

The primary audiences for this course are consulting design
professionals, truss manufacturers, truss designers, contractors, and
building design professionals. The professional and practical repair of
new metal-plate-connected wood trusses and the repair of existing truss
systems are demonstrated in this course. The lead instructor, Mr. Gary
Sweatt, P. E., will address the practical aspects of truss repair and
wood truss system repair with an emphasis on actual problems from the
field. The presentations and discussion will be “rich” in practical
solutions to a wide range of truss and truss system deficiencies
encountered over several decades of design practice. The participants
will be exposed to repair problems and solutions that involved from
one-hour to over one-month of consulting engineering professional time.
The function of the repair design engineer, serving in an oversight role
of the repair construction work, will be presented through example cases.

Upon completion of the course, the notebook will serve as a reference
document for truss and truss system repair design. This course offers
1.5 CEU’s (or 15 contact hours) and a certificate. The registration fee
is $750.00 (US) that must be received on, or before September 17, 2008.
After September 17, the fee is $ 800.00. For course details and
