The top 19 floors of the 25-story building are made with cross-laminated timber or CLT, an engineered wood created by layering and gluing lumber in a crossing pattern to form massive, strong beams.

For some architects, other forms of mass timber eventually lead to interest in cross-laminated timber. A swirling wood structure at the St. Louis Science Center is made of huge arched beams ...

Waste wood scraps, changed at the molecular level, could become heavy-duty building materials—and even replace plastic, ...

High-rises built with wood are showing up as sustainable building options. Cross laminated timber can be used in high-rise structures, as a replacement for materials with a high carbon footprint.

Mass timber is a type of engineered wood product made by bonding smaller pieces of wood together with adhesives or fasteners to create larger beams. Unlike steel and concrete, mass timber weighs ...

The global mass timber construction industry generated $857.1 million in 2021, and is anticipated to generate $1,542.2 million by 2031, witnessing a CAGR of 6.0% from 2022 to 2031, according to a new ...

Imagining a City of Wood Mass timber — huge beams of engineered lumber — can revolutionize building. We commissioned four projects to show its range.

The versatility of RedBuilt’s LVL beams and columns allows them to be deployed in a wide array of structural settings.

Why urban builders are switching to mass timber 03:13. Sitting atop the Yankee Hill neighborhood in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, is Ascent, a 284-foot luxury apartment building made mostly of wood.

Construction has begun on a 31-storey mass-timber building in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. According to its developer, Neutral, when ...

The project would include retail and office space while also addressing flooding issues in this Fort Worth neighborhood.

The reinforcement of timber beams using composite materials has emerged as a transformative strategy in modern structural engineering. Researchers have developed innovative methods for enhancing ...
