Collaborative Reporting for Safer Structures: CROSS-UK Newsletter 61

This month's report relates to a potential scope gap where certain structural elements in timber frame houses and apartments have not been reviewed, and no party has assumed responsibility.

This month's report concerns durability issues with engineered timber due to water ingress or condensation issues. Engineered timber appears to disintegrate more quickly than conventional timber, resulting in structural failure rather than distortion.

This month we present a report concerning multistorey cross-laminated timber buildings and their risk of collapse during a fire.
