CEA - The Future of Tall Wood Structures with Mark Oakeson
Is mass timber the future for tall buildings in seismic regions? 🤔 Well, it may be! In this episode, Mark and I discussed the Tallwood Shake Table Test, which tested cross-laminated timber (CLT) as an alternative material for seismic zones. Contrary to concrete frames that crack in the face of seismic forces, CLT uses a low-damage system! 😲 Check it out ⬇️
Tune in to Learn:
A seismic testing of tall wood structures called the Tallwood Shake Table Test
The promising future of cross-laminated timber (CLT) as a construction material
The sustainability of wood vs traditional concrete and steel
Enhancing the fire resistance of wood, especially when used in taller structures
The cost implication of wood compared to traditional materials
Addressing specific downsides of wood before adopting it for tall structures
