Materials: Moving Beyond Glass and Steel 1. Mass Timber (CLT and Glulam) Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT) and Glulam are becoming increasingly popular. These materials are strong enough for mid- to high-rise buildings, lighter than concrete, and they store carbon instead of emitting it. When using timber, engineers must rethink load paths, fire protection, and lateral stability. This involves encapsulation layers and careful design considerations. Example: The C6 Tower in Pert

Source: Kim and Kim 2021 While the basic deflection formula for a cantilever beam primarily involves parameters such as the modulus of elasticity (E), moment of inertia (I), and the applied load (P), the inclusion of steel reinforcement indeed plays a role. Understanding Deflection Formula in Cantilever Beams Deflection in cantilever beams occurs due to bending caused by applied loads. The formula for maximum deflection ( δδ ) at the free end of a cantilever beam subjected to

Eccentric biaxially loaded columns are structural elements subjected to axial loads that do not act through their centroid, resulting in bending moments about both the x and y axes. This type of loading occurs when the applied load is offset from the center of gravity of the column's cross-section, leading to complex stress distributions .
