Mass timber carbon solutions - reducing life-cycle carbon emissions with mass timber construction [PDF]

open access: yes, 2023
Mass timber construction is gaining momentum every year, driven by the urgency of reducing carbon emissions in the construction world. Some of its advantages are structural performance, ease of construction, and a variety of options to suit different applications. One of the biggest risks in timber buildings LCAs is confusion over biogenic carbon. LCAs

COMPARATIVE PERFORMANCE OF PROTECTIVE COATINGS FOR MASS TIMBER STRUCTURES

World Conference on Timber Engineering (WCTE 2023), 2023
The use of engineered mass timber in large scale structures is increasing due to the demand for low carbon, sustainable building design. The potential for structural timber to combust and contribute to a fire event adds hazards and complexity to the design of mass timber buildings.

Structural Systems for Mass Timber Buildings

IABSE Reports, 2019
<p>This paper investigates the design of lateral force resisting systems (LFRS) for multi-story mass timber structures in Boston, MA. Structural and environmental tradeoffs of replacing conventional concrete cores or steel braced frames with glue-laminated timber (GLT) braced frames are evaluated through numerical analyses of 8-, 12-, and 18 ...
