High-Performance Timber Modular Tall Buildings Toward Resilient Constructions

该多学科团队将加入UBC的研究力量，由3名教授和1名高级研究员，3名博士生和3名硕士生组成，他们分别从事不同的研究领域和方面。在加拿大及其世界各地的许多出口市场，木材是低层住宅建筑中常见的建筑材料。拟议研究计划的总体目标是开发模块化木结构，这将进一步推动传统和新兴工程木制品在建筑施工中的使用，超越低层建筑的建筑高度和尺寸限制。该项目的结果将对加拿大建筑的质量和性能产生重大影响，以实现更具抗灾能力的木结构建筑环境。该项目的经济方面主要是由于模块化的建设和过程中的自动化实施。因此，它将加快制造和施工过程，同时提高木材模块化建筑的整体性能和弹性。结构和基础设施的恢复能力正在成为发达国家的一个重要问题，他们接受这样一个事实，即他们不能预防未来的危险，而是必须管理和尽量减少它们对人类和资产的影响。这个项目将在加拿大带来更多有弹性的木结构建筑。UBC木材科学系、土木工程系和FPInnovations将建立合作伙伴关系，组建一支高素质、独特的研究团队。拟议的研究计划将结构和模块化连接设计、分析和测试与使用机器人的自动化施工联系起来，允许考虑建筑项目从设计到施工的各个方面的不确定性。

The multi-disciplinary team will have joined research forces at UBC, provided by 3 Professors and 1 Senior Research Associate, 3 Ph.D. students and 3 Master students specializing in different research fields and aspects. In Canada and many of its export markets around the world, wood is a common building material in low-rise residential construction. The overarching goal of the proposed research program is to develop modular timber structures that will further advance the use of both traditional and emerging engineered wood products in building construction beyond the building height and size limits of low-rise buildings. The outcome of this project will have a significant impact on the Canadian constructions' quality and performance toward a more hazard-resilient timber construction environment. The economic aspect of the project is mainly due to the modular construction and the implementation of automation in the process. Hence, it will speed up the manufacturing and construction process, while improving the overall performance and resilience of timber modular buildings. The resilience of structures and infrastructure is becoming an important issue for developed countries, accepting the fact that they cannot prevent future hazards, but rather they have to manage and minimize their impacts on humans and assets. This project will lead to more resilient timber constructions in Canada. A partnership among the Dept. of Wood Science, Dept. of Civil Engineering at UBC, and FPInnovations will be established, forming a high calibre and unique research team. The proposed research program links the structural and modular connection design, analysis, and testing with automated construction using robotics, allowing consideration of uncertainties from all aspects of a construction project from design to construction.
