Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Wood is one of the most abundant biomaterials in the world and has historically been used for construction. Recent research on advanced engineered wood products outlines the enormous but largely untapped potential of this material to address global sustainability challenges. In parallel with this, there are significant developments in technology that push the limits of wooden construction today. At the same time, it has become more economically competitive to build with wood beyond low-rise buildings. As a result, there has been a remarkable shift in public perception of the acceptance of wood as a material for tall buildings. This Special Issue focuses on advances and applications in sustainable wood construction, such as adhesive-free and metal fastener-free dovetail wooden board elements in timber-framed building construction.
