Wood Engineering is a specialized field that focuses on the design, analysis, and construction of structures using wood as a primary material. It combines principles from engineering, architecture, and forestry to create safe and sustainable buildings. Wood engineers study the properties of different types of wood, including strength, durability, and environmental impact, to optimize their use in construction. In addition to traditional building methods, Wood Engineering also explores innovative techniques such as engineered wood products, which include laminated veneer lumber and cross-laminated timber. These products enhance the performance of wood in structural applications, making it a viable alternative to steel and concrete in modern construction.
