1430Q - 6 Storey Light-frame Over 2 Storeys Of Concrete
1430 Q, in Sacramento is a 6 storey light-frame building on top of 2 storeys of concrete. Although tall, 4 \u2013 6 storey stick frame buildings aren\u2019t yet common in Australia, they\u2019re somewhat the norm in USA and Canada. When sticking to the right design principles, there is proven cost savings compared to traditional construction. Today we\u2019re speaking with Ryan Miller, a Senior Associate of 15 years experience in Buehler\u2019s Sacramento Office about:
- Why light frame material makes sense
- The interaction between concrete and timber
- Designing and detailing for vertical movement
