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 TestThe promising future of cross-laminated timber (CLT) as a construction materialThe sustainability of wood vs traditional concrete and steelEnhancing the fire resistance of wood, especially when used in taller structuresThe cost implication of wood compared to traditional materialsAddressing specific downsides of wood before adopting it for tall structuresOur Partner:AudibleFREE Resource:The Ultimate Civil PE Startup GuideResources Mentioned:Tallwood Shake Table TestDr. Shilin PeiColorado School of MinesCEA Exam Prep Materials:Main WebsiteThe Ultimate Civil FE Review Course The Ultimate Civil PE Review CourseThe Ultimate Civil PE Depth Review CoursesCEA Practice ExamsJoin the CEA Family:Free CEA CommunityFree NewsletterYouTube [email protected]
