This is a 45 minute Keynote
Address that opens with a comparison between modern
cross-laminated timber and 19th century 'slow-burning' textile mill
construction, and then focuses on the earthquake resilience of
pre-industrial traditional timber and masonry construction.
The
buildings discussed in the talk range from Ancient Rome, to the
origins of the modern skyscraper in Chicago and San Francisco, and
include traditional buildings in India, Pakistan, Nepal, Turkey,
Spain, France, Portugal, and Haiti.
The video includes a 2 minute
introduction by Professor Alex Salenikovich, and a 8 minute excerpt
from the Question and Answer session following the talk. This
Q & A session has been illustrated for this video of the lecture
presentation.
