Mass timber – the emergence of a modern construction material

Wood and wood products are becoming increasingly important structural materials in the process of transitioning to sustainable buildings. The introduction of a large number of wood products has excellent load carrying capacity and makes it possible to use the wood in a larger and more complex structure. Cross-laminated wood (CLT) sheet products have evolved into a stage that can be regarded as an economic and more sustainable alternative to traditional materials. This article describes the function and design of the CLT structure. The latest developments in the construction of medium and high level CLTs were reviewed and future opportunities were identified.

Wood is a natural resource. It is made of wood like hardwood and cork. Wood plays a very important role in building materials under construction. The most common type is wooden plate. The wooden form forms the fresh concrete into a desired shape before discharging the fresh concrete. However, fresh concrete can corrode wood formwork, so wooden formwork can not be used more than once. Because trees take a long time to grow, trees can not be used without restriction. There are also many other products made of wood, such as furniture and paper. When wood is exhausted, the amount of timber production will decrease, which is very inconvenient for humans. In addition, trees have the ability to absorb carbon dioxide, so global warnings will worsen as more and more trees disappear. The root of the tree can also hold the soil securely, and when trees are cut down, it is more likely to landslide in the slope area.

Some building materials such as cold-rolled steel frames are not considered traditionally slow methods such as blocks and wood, but are regarded as modern construction methods. As many building materials have many uses, it is always a good idea to consult with the manufacturer to check if the product is ideal for your requirements.
