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
