New super wood found to replace steel in the field of construction
Super wood . We all know how steels are used in construction mainly because of their durability, strength and resistance. In this the most common steels used are carbon steel, aluminium, copper tubing and Stainless steel and even titanium . But now engineers have found something which we would call as the super wood. Yes, thats right in early days we used woods for conconstruction. Mainly in America . But now because wood lack in strength we use steel . But the're is no need of that as we have super wood . New process could make wood as strong as titanium alloys but lighter and cheaper. Engineers at the university of Maryland have found a way to make wood more than 10 times stronger and tougher than normal . And the cost is also cheaper than any steel . Engineers say that this wood can even compete with the ultimate carbon fibre . They say that it is strong as steel, but six times lighter than it. The team ...
