Timber structures are best designed as systems, taking into account structure, acoustics, thermal and fire. A hybrid system can leverage the advantages of different materials to solve the problem in the most effective manner. Today we're talking with Rob Nestic about utilisation of Timber Concrete Composite Systems. In this episode we discuss:
- The performance aspects of the TCC system
- Prefabrication and the nuances around pouring concrete offsite or onsite
- The supply capacity of Australia for these systems
