Timber Building Research Workshop
Timber/Woodframe building structures were the focus of a breakout session at the NHERI Workshop. Priority research areas identified include developing cost-effective modification devices, enhancing wood building design, and achieving community resilience goals. Collaboration between academia and industry is seen as crucial for developing innovative products in this field.
