Mass timber is transforming how America builds—but supply hasn’t kept pace with demand. A gap in domestic manufacturing has slowed widespread adoption, leaving many developers with few options beyond ...

Waste wood scraps, changed at the molecular level, could become heavy-duty building materials—and even replace plastic, ... Fire-Resistant and Stronger Than Steel.

The fire-resistant, water-repellent, rot-proof and pest-resistant tech reportedly emerged from research led by Liangbing Hu, PhD, a materials scientist and distinguished professor at the ...

Many of the large urban fires of old, like the Great Fire of London in 1666, were mostly fuelled by small sections of timber acting as kindling. So when it comes to building in wood, it is best to ...

In parallel, scaling studies on CLT floor systems have introduced thermomechanical similarity criteria, offering novel scaling approaches that enhance the predictive accuracy of fire resistance in ...
