The Future of Skyscrapers… WOOD?

Matt is in downtown Oakland touring a very unique job site. The support system and floor of this 20 story skyscraper is made almost entirely of wood and you won't believe how fast it is going up! Is this the future of skyscrapers as we know them? Comment below what you think!

Fabulous tour!! Middle /low income housing ,built in 2/3 of the time. Seems to be an answer to the homeless problem. There are many,many working homeless. What a great thing.

[@MaskOfLoki634]

There are over 13 million empty houses in the U.S. The are about half a million homeless people. New housing is good, but removing tax deductions for empty rentals would do a lot of good too.

@@MaskOfLoki634 Amen to that brother.

[@rpvitiello]

@@MaskOfLoki634most empty houses are not in habitable shape. They need to be and rebuilt. You also have to factor in underhoused people that are not technically homeless, but that are living in a single room instead of their own apartment. Once you factor that in, the USA needs 30 million more houses.

My dad's an engineer and he's been talking about wood sky scrapers for as long as I can remember.

[@Braun09tv]

They still come with a lot of concrete as core and floor.

[@viewer-of-content]

@@Braun09tv⁠not always. Concrete is always required for a foundation, but CLT can go upto twenty floors without major steel or concrete structure besides the foundation. You loose a lot of volume with CLT on the lower floors though. CLT is about as strong as carbon steel per weight, but steel 10 times as strong per volume, so steel skyscrapers need far less thick space for support. CLT skyscrapers out of pure wood will have around 2-3 meter/ 10 feet wide supports on lower floors, and they get thinner towards the top. Wood type also makes a huge difference. Wood strength can vary 10-50x dependent on knots and wood species. So wood skyscrapers can be a bit more of an artisinal board sorting venture.

[@Braun09tv]

@@viewer-of-content and, wood skyscrapers seem to not have any financial advantage ever.

[@viewer-of-content]

@@Braun09tv I think it's mostly a quirky building type for now. Wood and tons of sprinklers are the cheap go to for 5&1 construction in the USA. And the only reason it's not also cheaper to go higher is lack of approved materials in volume, firecode's slow adjustments, and lack of builders/buyers familiar with it. I'm not sure if mid and high rises will ever be as cheap to build as a suburban 5&1 per unit, but I don't know what the future holds. Also look up fire testing CLT it's crazy how the fires just put themselves out. CLT is designed with a 1-2in sacraficial layer of wood around their circumference when exposed to meet fire code. It's such a weird design that I kinda think you might be right on more expensive for the rest of my lifetime, I'm guessing thats another 40-70 years from today based on my family history.

This is really interesting! I'm a structural engineer, I mostly do residential, but we did have a Rothoblaas rep come present to our company a few weeks ago.

In Norway we have a couple of tall wooden buildings, for a little while we had the world's tallest. In any case, on the inside of these buildings, there is a lot of exposed wood, and it is in a way part of the design of the house. It was strange to see that these covered with gipsum.

[@poopee34]

it's for fire rating they talked about it, building this size needs a certain fire rating than something smaller

[@rpvitiello]

@@poopee34those columns meet fire rating without being covered, but the city’s zoning doesn’t believe the scientific testing, so they are forcing the builder to waste money and make the building uglier based on feelings, not science. That’s why they talked about getting city approval to use less unnecessary fireproofing. It’s amazing how many building codes are not based on anything factual but feelings.

I pushed this video off until I could watch the whole thing in one sitting, and aside from a mildly tragic ending, I'm glad I did. Neat blend of old school and new hotness in that building. Hopefully it works out well for its tenants. Thanks Matt!

[@tweake7175]

looks like the hybrid wood structure method. my concern is the water management. especially as its more critical with taller buildings. especially if you have guys who are used to one method then having to build a different method. i suspect the early ones they will pay attention to, but as complacency sets in, all the usual errors start coming into play and you may see leakage and the usual rot. so how long before these become leaky home syndrome.

[@eh_bailey]

It probably isn't such a big deal if they are cladding in curtain wall glass. That could give you a capillary break from the structure, and it is a pretty solid system for sealing and water shedding.

[@MikeMarshall1411]

This. Laminated lumber looses structural capacity so fast with water exposure. I see so many leaks in large buildings and houses that arent even noticed until its too late. Wood skyskrapers is scary.

[@tweake7175]

​@@eh_bailey not always the case. i think it was BSFC who did a post on a high rise building that leaked due to fastening details. if that was wooden instead of concrete, especially LVL, its a major problem.

[@benchoflemons398]

Literally my first thought was getting robbed

[@MyDogmatix]

If a unit on floor 15 floods, how does that effect the other units. On concrete construction high rises. You can have many units flooded from above, and it’s no big deal, just concrete and steel stud. Dry it out, all good. But wood? It will bloat, deform and cause structural issues. Not sure this is a long term option that one could call wise. Also, as someon who has worked on all things timber frame in the GVRD, I feel I can safely say that lower rise options are best for wood, but there are lots of other options and maybe we should be saving all this plywood for regular plywood consumption. The amount of fasteners you need for timber high rises is kinda crazy. Also, I’ve worked on a specific kid of 2by8 mass timber where they are sandwiched together for a solid floor. You could hear a nail drop on the floor from a unit above.

[@vapeurdepisse]

Yes it's concerning. They will tell you we have moisture barriers, this and that. All good when the building is brand new, but we all know these things fail eventually and you need a plan B for when that happens. In old building with solid wood the water runs through and the wood never stays wet for long.

[@benchoflemons398]

[@williamleak6075]

This was a super great video, I can't share my excitement. This levels the playing field for mid-rise contractors to move up to skyscrapers. The only thing that I would be curious about is the walls separating the units. Do they use the same mpp product for wall separation or do they use traditional framing like steel or wood? Also what is the product that they put down before the concrete on the floor?

[@billsmith5109]

Per IBC this is Type IV-A HT construction. While HT (Heavy Timber) would be allowed for the various partition walls, lightweight lumber (2 x X) would not. Non-combustible is the normal allowed interior wall material, practically meaning steel studs and GWB. 1-hr rated between apt/condo units; rated hallways etc. You’d need to see full plans to be really detailed. So HT walls are still an oddity in Type IV construction.

We had a (tiny) 4 double story (8 story building with only 4 floors) timber framed building (completely glass-curtain facade - the lift shaft/fire escape unit was poured concrete) built in my home town in Australia a couple of years ago - I was fortunate enough to be able to do all the progress aerial photography, the sad thing is all the components had to be imported from Europe as there were no glulam/ LVL presses big enough in Australia - doesn't seem like "rocket science" - but the investment in manufacturing facilities for the columns and beams isn't trivial.. The construction was not a lot different to making a multistory workbench, (posts, beams, deck- repeat many times and fit out...) very few structural components really, just more than at least 3 times bigger. (if a workbench were a mansion for ants). (The concrete lift shaft/fire escape provides the real stability to the assembly).

MATT: I've been following the development of larger wood framed structures. If you haven't done so, or not recently, would you please discuss the sources of all this lumber....I'm a retired builder, so kinda out of touch now-but historically, here in northern New England, framing lumber has been SPF, with increasing amounts of engineered lumber. Southern pine for PT and some douglas fir more recently in the Boxes. SPF was typically sourced pretty locally from the North Woods of New England and Quebec, Canada. These forests have typically NOT been managed for enduring productivity. WHERE is all the lumber from for these multi-story projects going to come from, certainly not the Northeast?? Cheers

It is plyed wood and wood burns. It is just the nature of things. Steel melting point or iron alloys is around 2,200-2,500 Fahrenheit. So, a fire rating of 30-90 minutes okay for a 3 level but 20 floors in a place where public safety departments are getting the biggest cuts. My brain never shut down. I always err on the side of caution.

[@jackshao126]

⁠@@Felix-ie4dbthey explained in the video about the char rates, mass timber charrs at a constant rate making it easier to predict fire rating and as wood chars it forms a natural protective barrier slowing the burn. The ashes and charcoal that forms isolates the load bearing core of the wood from direct flames and isolates it from air, it’s a bit counter intuitive like the superior insulating value of unmelted snow. The reason stick frames wood houses burn so fast is because of the large surface area of exposed wood and the ratio of char rate to the small cross sections of the members.

[@Felix-ie4db]

@@jackshao126 which burns fast steel and concrete or wood and steel? Which is safer in a high-rise? What is the data? I always wondered if anyone can be honest about it or not.

Nice building but I wouldn't get a place in it. By all means you people can. Have at it. Just don't be rude about my choice because all the char rates and that stuff has not sold me on the safety.

[@jackshao126]

@@Felix-ie4db steel doesn’t burn, it just loses its structural integrity suddenly once it reaches a certain temperature leading to sudden collapse. These are just different construction methods and both need to be tested to the same degree, granted that mass timber is newer so the longevity and potential unforeseen defects have yet to be uncovered. It’s pointless to compare the which is safer because they perform to the safety minimums they are designed for. Ignoring the greenwashing bs the reason for people to use wood is the speed of construction and that it is a more forgiving system ie if you drilled the wrong hole for pipes you can easily fix it without worrying about accidentally cutting a post tensioning cable.

It's really important to note the environmental benefits as well. Concrete production amounts to 8% of global CO2 emissions, compared to less than 3% for the aviation industry. This means that any reduction in concrete production has massive benefits when it comes to CO2 emissions.

[@sanisidrocr]

In the analysis of climate externalities you need to consider its lifespan and other factors and not merely the energy needed to produce. As long as it can be designed to last Its a net benefit in carbon as the plywood reuses scrap wood and is a form of carbon sequestration. In a country like mine due to humidity and termites this could not work. We need to use steel, concrete or at least hardwood.

What an engineering marvel, I am unsure what issues this technique addresses, however my curiosity has been piqued as to rot and pest protection and how a water emergency such as a broken supply line will be handled and what future safe structure certification/inspections are required. I like the cast iron waste lines but wonder about sizing as the lines do not seem to get larger on lower floors. Speed is amazing, however assembly protocols must be rigidly enforced to get to finish line. The floors are once again amazing and seem very flat, was the staging area for the steel rebar preassembly also wood, if so thats quite some load being carried.
