In this video we will cover several topics.
Peculiarities of construction of wooden high-rise buildings in the world.
Properties of wood in case of fire.
Properties of wood during earthquakes. Wood building Earthquake tests.
New trends in solid wood buildings.
Let's explore the innovative use of wood in high-rise constructions, such technologies as cross-laminated timber (CLT) & Glulam. Video highlights the strength and stability of CLT, showcasing its potential as a sustainable alternative to traditional materials like steel and concrete. The video includes tests demonstrating wood's resilience in earthquake simulations and fire safety assessments, emphasizing advancements in building technologies that make tall wood structures viable and safe.
