Hi ,

"We have noted before that wood is one of the most suitable material for earthquake resistant construction due to its light weight and shear strength across the grains.” - Lloyd Alter, Treehugger

Checkout this article to see how Katerra, an ambitious, construction startup, is demonstrating the remarkable earthquake resistance of Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT) in building design. Slotted connection plates reinforce shear wall systems enhancing building and occupant in seismic regions across the world.
