Production System Configurator for Mass Timber Supply and Construction

Computing in Civil Engineering 2024
Mass timber (MT) is a sustainable material increasingly used for both single- and multi-story buildings due to technological developments and evolving building codes. As demand increases, new MT supply systems are emerging. These systems include facilities where harvested timber is cut, glued, and made into materials subsequently shipped to other ...
