Barriers to Introduce Mass Timber in Construction in Ecuador - Exploratory Study

Journal of Building Technology
In recent years, there has been a great interest in the use of mass timber in the construction industry. Thanks to configurations such as laminated timber (GLT and CLT), it has been possible to build high-rise buildings with its entire structure (beams, columns, slabs, and walls) made of wood.
