Abstract:

In the past few years, the tall building industry has become increasingly interested in the use of timber as a major structural element in skyscrapers. In the near future, this movement will lead to the next stage where timber will form a much bigger part of the built environment. Currently, there is a worldwide wave of research, using mass timber or engineered wood products that are as robust as concrete and steel. As a part of this movement, this paper presents the possibilities of cross laminated timber (CLT) as a building material and their characteristics. A few examples of timber structures in Korea are also presented. Then, challenges and area to be improved for engineers will be discussed.
