SUSTAINABLE AND EFFICIENT RECONSTRUCTION: THE USE OF WOOD IN THE ACCELERATION OF POST-DISASTER PROCESSES
Keywords
Abstract
Natural tragedies are devastating events that require rapid and effective responses to minimize social and economic impacts on affected communities. This article explores the use of timber construction technologies, specifically Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) and Light Wood Frame (LWF), as viable solutions to speed up reconstruction processes. Based on case studies and the analysis of technical, cultural and regulatory challenges, the article proposes strategies to overcome the barriers to the expansion of these technologies in Brazil, with emphasis on the need for a national study that establishes specific cost compositions, financing of industrial plants, public-private partnerships for CLT and LWF in the context of public works.
