And they used laminated wood for the roof for a lot of structural materials things that weren't load-bearing.
他们在屋顶上使用了层压木材,很多结构材料都是不能承重的。

And our calculus showed that the risk of construction overrun by having more onsite activities didn't justify the cost saving by using a cheaper structural material.
So far, most of these alternatives are either too expensive to make or too early in development or are being adopted tentatively because concrete is such an important structural material.
In just three months to be precise … Concrete is a structural material that's cheaper on a structural loading basis than steel might be, but it requires onsite speciality labour which can slow down the construction process.
Structural engineering depends on the knowledge of materials and their properties, in order to understand how different materials support and resist loads.
