下一代大规模木材建筑是满足加拿大气候变化和住房目标的关键
碳中和、开云体育篮球抗灾木结构的新研究可能是解决加拿大到2030年迫切住房需求和气候变化承诺的答案。Tony Yang博士是不列颠哥伦比亚大学应用科学学院的土木工程教授,他正在领导一项多所大学研究开云体育最新网站项目的核心主题之一,即重新制定大规模木结构的国家建筑标准。开云体育篮球“下一代木质建筑”项目由13所大学和12个政府和行业合作伙伴合作,已从加拿大自然科学与工程委员会(NSERC)获得了625万美元的资助,这是NSERC联盟历史上最大的一笔拨款。杨博士的重点是确保到2028年,高达20层的大规模木结构的新材料、技术和指南是可行的、经济的和稳健的。“下一代大规模木结构建筑将标志着我们如何在这个国家——甚至可能是世界上——建造的一个转折点,”杨博士说。我们有信心,有了这些新的工具和材料,我们将帮助加拿大实现——如果不能超过——其2030年的碳排放目标。与许多其他国家一样,加拿大面临着双重挑战,一方面要建造更多住房,更换日益恶化的基础设施,另一方面要减少碳排放。联合国预测,到2050年,全球人口将增加到97亿,要容纳这些新增人口,将需要19.5万平方公里的土地——相当于在未来30年里每个月建造5座温哥华市。鉴于建筑行业是加拿大第三大碳排放国,预计到2067年,加拿大将在新的基础设施上投入11万亿美元,并取代日益恶化的基础设施,因此比以往任何时候都更需要智能、可持续的建筑创新。这是不列颠哥伦比亚省的一种重要可再生资源:木材。 With a much lower environmental footprint than concrete, or even recycled concrete, mass timber constructions holds enormous potential in helping Canada meet its climate goals of a 30 per cent reduction in carbon emissions by 2030, and to reach carbon neutrality by 2050. Currently, mass timber construction goes up to only 12 storeys under Canada’s national building code. The project will deal with four key themes to enable safe, energy-efficient and sustainable mass timber construction of up to 20 storeys: Structural and serviceability performance Fire safety Building envelope and energy performance Sustainable construction technologies and practices The future of construction Image Dr. Tony Yang and his team are developing new forms of modular construction for mass timber buildings in high seismic regions.In addition to leading the work on structural and serviceability performance, Dr. Yang is heavily involved in the research to develop sustainable construction technologies, such as quake-resilient modular construction. By completing most construction in factories for quick assembly on site, modular construction promises to reduce labour demands on site – especially valuable during a skilled worker shortage – as well as construction waste. While modular construction is already used Singapore, the UK, USA and Canada, these methods are not applied in quake-prone regions. Dr. Yang’s team aims to develop new modular construction that will excel at withstanding earthquakes in high seismic zones, while reducing the carbon footprint of such construction. Dr. Yang and his collaborators are months deep into the research, and his team has already developed a prototype for a high-performance timber modular building. “Everything we are doing in this project is going to fundamentally change how we do things in the construction industry,” said Dr. Yang. “In five years’ time, we will be able to deploy the next generation of technology to make infrastructure safer, more carbon neutral and efficient. We will able to protect people’s lives from the kind of disastrous aftermath you see from severe earthquakes.” He expects that the construction industry will be able to use these technologies in the field as soon as 2028.
