Building Durability into CLT & Mass Timber Structures
Time: 9:30 am
day: Day One
Details:
- Globally, USDA and many research experts have highlighted the need to ensure durability and protection from wood destroying insects and fungi, noting these areas as the primary remaining challenges for the CLT/Mass Timber industry
- The science of durability is a critical component of good design. Termite damage and biological degrade can occur at any time during the life of the structure. Damage from these events can be extremely expensive and is not covered by insurance
- In this talk, we'll discuss the latest research and durability solutions that can help protect architects, owners, lenders, builders and the future of the industry
