Mass Timber Construction – The Future is Here But Are We Ready? By Smith and Wallwork

Mass timber construction is the future of buildings – after all, there aren't many construction technologies that trap more carbon dioxide than they generate!  But although it is not new technology there are still a number of challenges in the design of these structures, some of which are yet to be addressed by available design standards. Mike White from structural engineers Smith and Wallwork will run through some of the benefits of mass timber construction and discuss some of the big topics in the industry including fire performance and footfall vibration analysis.

Presented as part of Altair's 2021 Future.Industry Conference.
