During construction, a site can experience dynamic weather and exposure conditions that range from hot to cold and dry to wet. In the construction environment and post construction, wood materials are in a constant state of moisture change that can affect corrosion and tension of embedded steel screws. The presentation integrates information about the provisions of CSA O86:24 pertaining to steel screws used in mass timber construction, the fundamentals of hydrogen embrittlement, screw installation specifications, and the effects of construction environment as related to mass timber projects.
