Next generation structural materials from super-engineered wood
Akronym
SUPERWOOD
Bidragets beskrivning
The construction sector is responsible for a major portion of CO2 emissions worldwide. To meet the United Nations decarbonization goals both operational and embodied carbon must be reduced, which can be achieved by using more wood as a structural material. Ambition of the SUPERWOOD project is to develop wood-based structural materials that are much stronger than conventional products and display by-design functionalities. This will be achieved by a super-engineering approach guided by computational modeling and machine learning. Increasing the amount of wood used in buildings is an effective strategy to attain the current energy and climate targets laid down in the National Energy and Climate Strategy to reduce Finland's carbon footprint by 2030. The results of this project will lead to a wider understanding of microstructural requirements to obtain new wood-based products, therefore helping with the implementation of wood elements in more architectural and engineering endeavors.
