CEA - The Future of Tall Wood Structures with Mark Oakeson

<p>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 ⬇️</p> <p><br></p> <p><strong>Tune in to Learn:</strong></p> <ul> <li><p>A seismic testing of tall wood structures called the Tallwood Shake Table Test</p> </li> <li><p>The promising future of cross-laminated timber (CLT) as a construction material</p> </li> <li><p>The sustainability of wood vs traditional concrete and steel</p> </li> <li><p>Enhancing the fire resistance of wood, especially when used in taller structures</p> </li> <li><p>The cost implication of wood compared to traditional materials</p> </li> <li><p>Addressing specific downsides of wood before adopting it for tall structures</p> </li> </ul> <p><br></p> <p><strong>Our Partner:</strong></p> <p><a href="https://civilengineeringacademy.com/audible">Audible</a></p> <p><br></p> <p><strong>FREE Resource:</strong></p> <p><a href="https://civilengineeringacademy.com/peguide">The Ultimate Civil PE Startup Guide</a></p> <p><br></p> <p><strong>Resources Mentioned:</strong></p> <p><a href="https://www.asce.org/publications-and-news/civil-engineering-source/civil-engineering-magazine/article/2023/08/behind-the-scenes-of-the-tallwood-shake-table-test-at-uc-san-diego">Tallwood Shake Table Test</a></p> <p><a href="https://cee.mines.edu/project/pei-shiling/">Dr. Shilin Pei</a></p> <p><a href="http://mines.edu/">Colorado School of Mines</a></p> <p><br></p> <p><strong>CEA Exam Prep Materials:</strong></p> <p><a href="https://civilengineeringacademy.com">Main Website</a></p> <p><a href="https://civilfereviewcourse.com">The Ultimate Civil FE Review Course</a> </p> <p><a href="https://civilpereviewcourse.com">The Ultimate Civil PE Review Course</a></p> <p><a href="https://civilengineeringacademy.com/civil-pe-de
