I love the idea of a home made with this system. But a bridge column? Not doubting this at all because I'm sure you have done the calculations. But how???
Pound for pound wood is stronger than steel. Glued laminated timber or Glulam is stronger than plain wood. Modern wood glues are even stronger than the wood itself. By virtue of weaving wooden Zipblocks together on opposing planes with glue one further enhances the strength of wood by adding an imposed "super fiber" effect. You can literally build just about any 3D wooden object that you want to...any size...any shape. Steel cables and Zipblocks can easily be integrated as well.
I have a question. Why? Is this cheaper than concrete?
