There are a few different issues with timber. Wood "lives", which means it expands and contracts under different environmental conditions. Timber is also so lightweight, that it could create issues in high rise construction regarding vibrations. Also, when timber is loaded for a long time, it gets issues regarding creep. Furthermore, the glue in GluLam is far from environmentally friendly. Lastly, detailing is very difficult, because as mentioned in the video, timber is very weak in any other direction than longitudinal. This means that a bolt or nail could easily fail when it is loaded in the "wrong" direction. Now, this doesn't mean that there is no hope or reason to build high rise buildings in timber, but the industry is still a little bit in its infancy.

Yeah this video is very misleading all around. Don't get me wrong, glulams are great if you want some architecturally exposed beams or your building on an existing wood construction and can't use steel, but you really need a unique case in order to go out of your way to specify it from standard cut lumber and other building materials.

@mreagle8770

2 жыл бұрын

All materials expand and contract under different environmental conditions, accounting for these is part of the design process. All materials creep, accounting for this is also part of the design process. And you cant really compare CLT and glulam to "timber". These are engineered woods, their properties aren't the same as a lone plank of wood. For directional strength, CLT addresses that issue by having the timber planks arranged in both directions, and you would usually use glulam in the longitudinal direction it was orientated, though it can still perform well in other directions if its designed for it. Ultimately, there is no need to make a purely "timber" building. Use an optimal combination of timber (engineered), steel and concrete and get the outcome you want. Timber is another option to use and it's more sustainable so the more of it we can use the better, but that doesn't mean we have to only use timber.

@mikeveenhuis9160

2 жыл бұрын

@@mreagle8770 Yes ofcourse materials change under different circumstances. Timber however is the most severe. Especially considering you can load timber in different directions, longitudinal radial and tangential. Where the latter two are much more susceptible to deformations. Furthermore, timber can draw in moisture, and this also changes the sizes of the elements a lot. This doesn't happen (as much) in steel and concrete. Lastly, creep does happen in all materials, but creep in timber is vastly different than creep in steel or concrete, where it hardly ever is a governing load. It is important to see timber as a difficult and unique material, with a lot of unique properties, which a lot of engineers still don't (they consider it similar to steel). Yes you can design for it, but it has to be done with these properties in mind.

Has European CLT walked away from the polyurethane glues yet? This was one of the first changes when full scale fire tests were run in North America when considering CLT for use in structure that required a fire rating. Sometimes a term such as ‘softens with heat rise’ is used. Effectively this means no polyurethanes. See APA 320 PRG 320 2019 and elsewhere.

Great way to show alternative and effective ways to reduce carbon footprint! Tho another problem by using woods is that often countries have bad forest politics which can results in homogenous forests with lack of diversity which leads to low chances of adapting to climate change and stand against forestfires. That’s why politics is so important in the work of reducing the effects of climate change and why we can’t rely on good technology. But those two working together can really make changes!

Lasting is one thing, the other is that wooden support beams tend to flex as they get old. Basically, your floor will be less and less flat over the years.

Edit: upon reading a Stanford article on the topic to check, I will admit that paper bags are more costly to the environment to manufacture, but plastics have a limited time left because they are made from fossil fuels. The article itself noted that certain reusable plastic bags are much more effective than the conventional thin ones and are both more durable and take fewer reuses to cancel their carbon footprint. They also ended on this important topic: our habits are most important when it comes to how sustainable we can make things. A change in materials (using durable plastic bags for shopping maybe instead of one-time use bags) can help though.

While trees do emit methane (especially in tropical and wetland areas), they at least absorb CO2 in amounts that can contend with the effects of the potential greenhouse gases they release, and might even absorb some of the methane they release. The overall effect is still noted to be positive, as CO2 is a longer lasting gas than methane, despite methane's much greater potency. If we wanted to control methane emissions, we can study tree emissions for sure, though I believe a more direct action can be taken in the moment by changing agriculture. Cows burp plenty of methane, but studies have shown that a seaweed diet reduced emissions by a massive amount. It's just one way to handle things but it's a start!

5 year old me building with wood in minecraft: I don't have such weaknesses

I hated the random lightning strike

hey, when i was designing a skeletal rocket frame out of balsa wood (long story short, it was the only material available that i could use my high school's laser cutter on), i did something similar to this Glulam and CLT thing. never finished it, but nice to know that it amounts to something in actual construction! i did it because balsa wood was so weak, i felt like having the wood supported against its weak tensile strength was smart. after all, if it failed in flight, it could start a fire!

나무로 고층 건물을 짓지 못한다는 것을 처음 알았는데, 나무 판자들을 엮어 더 강한 목재를 만드는 방법으로 고층 건물을 짓는 데 성공했다는 것이 놀랍습니다. 또한 이렇게 지은 건물들은 나무로 만들었음에도 불구하고 불에 잘 타지 않는다는 것도 신기합니다. 좋은 영상 감사합니다.

Not that popular, but very close.

I'm curious about the math of how these different buildings are heated and cooled. One rarely thinks of a building's conductivity.

I read an article about this it’s very interesting also some guy in the article said that the amount of wood isn’t problem because forests around the world produce enough wood

I remember there was at the begin of the XXiest century a proposal to build for an universal exposition a wooden tower from the size of the Tour Eiffel to demonstrate the possibilities of wooden construction

Now that's Amazing

Ted-Ed out here asking the most interesting questions I love it

I lived in a wooden apartment house in Switzerland (build 2019) some time it was nice but the soundproofing vertical was a disaster. I was told it is a common problem in such structures.

What about reinforcing the wood similarly to how we reinforce concrete.even a major reduction in usage would help and the wood can always be fed through termites ect.

Considering all the IKEA comments, I wouldn't be too surprised if they actually _did_ start making buildings that way.

Yes, so improve fire mitigation? If CO2 was a visible gas you wouldn't be thinking of any reason against using wood.

In China all buildings are concrete and tile. No need for a fire department.

Lots of concrete building materials such as beams are ussually precast and shipped. Also Foundations are ussually reinforced with rebar so even if its cracked its not destroyed and can a lot of times be pushed back to its original state and repaired. Not sure the safety on that in skyscrapers but I used to do it on house foundations all the time.

So mention to the rain and other weather conditions! Sun, snow, heil etc. Timber will always have a shorter lifetime and will require more repairing - replacing.

the sound effects in this video are oddly satisfying

This is hopeful, but I'm still doubting it could hold up nearly as well in its state. Yes, panels could be swapped, but the durability of wood could mean damage reaches deeper more easily.

You guys need to do more architecture videos, like the Bauhaus movement or Jane Jacobs 😁

A great video. How ever, the narrator forget to mention LVL, an engineered wood that is even stronger than GL and CLT, that the floors in the Mjösa Tower was mainly constructed with.

key information missing in video: wood structures need 10 times more maintenance and high maintenance cost than their counterparts (especially if you are living in wrong country with bad weather conditions).

There's one time when Japanese builders can build a housr without using a single nail, i am left with questions

@hicheeeee5003

It's apparently a type of Japanese ancient art architecture, where you have to built an entire house without a single nail,they should only use woods and and woods.That art is really hard to make.

There’s a couple points this video didn’t touch on that some people seem to miss: 1. Building skyscrapers out of lumber would require a lot of wood, but if the wood is sourced from sustainable forests it would have a massive positive environmental impact. Trees absorb the most CO2 in their early years of growth so having a lumber farm that’s constantly replanting trees would take a large amount of CO2 out of the atmosphere. 2. This would also massively increase the demand for lumber. Which some in the comments think would spike the price of lumber, but stable increased demand would allow the lumber industry to build out production which in turn would have a balancing effect on price. Which over the long-term would bring lumber prices even lower than present cost.

Wow that was amazing, I didn't know about that kind of construction, I hope construction companies start using this technique in order to reduce the carbon footprint
