What was one of the primary reasons for choosing mass timber for the Tallwood 1 project?
*
To enable faster construction speeds compared to traditional concrete methods
To reduce the reliance on skilled labor
To completely eliminate the need for concrete in construction
To minimize the use of prefabricated materials
Which structural system was emphasized in the Tallwood 1 project to accommodate the high seismic requirements?
*
Traditional steel framing systems
Hybrid systems using point-supported CLT panels
Entirely concrete-based systems for better durability
Use of lightweight metal alloys
True or False: The Tallwood 1 project was the first to use a hybrid seismic system in a high-rise mass timber building in Canada.
*
True
False
How does the integration of prefabricated mass timber components impact the construction timeline for projects like Tallwood 1?
*
It increases the construction timeline due to complexity.
It has no significant impact on the construction timeline.
It decreases the construction timeline by allowing faster assembly on-site.
It requires additional time for acclimatization of timber materials.
