Unlocking the Essentials of MPCWT Design & Quality Control

This webinar is designed specifically for structural engineers looking to deepen their expertise in Metal Plate Connected Wood Truss (MPCWT) systems. We’ll explore the industry-recognized design standards that govern MPCWT engineering, review the quality control protocols followed at truss manufacturing facilities, and examine the structural role of connector plates—including how allowable design values are determined and applied.

Additionally, we’ll cover the key guidance found in the Structural Building Components Association’s (SBCA) BCSI document, which provides critical information on the handling, installation, and bracing of trusses in the field.

• Course will award 1.0 hour of continuing education
• Diamond Review approved in all 50 states
• This webinar will be available as a recording.
