MFE Podcast: Seismic and Fire Safety of Mass Timber Buildings

Builder Podcast Network

The multifamily industry is beginning to embrace the benefits of mass timber, such as labor cost benefits and lower overall weight of the building. As new buildings are proposed and designed, developers need to know about various factors that contribute to the fire and seismic safety of these tall mass timber buildings. In this podcasts from our "Developers in an Age of Disruption series," editor David Myron speaks with Erica Fischer, assistant professor at Oregon State University’s School of Civil and Construction Engineering, to address these safety factors.
