Question 1 of 12
Single answer
Why are connections a more concentrated design problem in mass timber than in cast concrete?
A
Because timber connections never carry any real load, so they are purely decorative
B
Because a mass-timber building is a kit of prefabricated parts, so every load reaches the ground through a connection, and the joints are often exposed
C
Because concrete has no joints at all and timber has thousands of tiny ones
D
Because timber connections can be freely redesigned on site at any stage
