Fifteen softwood lumber exporters and researchers from OSU and Virginia Tech participated in the SEC booth at the Taiwan Construction and Building Show in December.  The display, which was constructed of US softwoods, received over 420 booth visitors.
 
While importers who are familiar with softwood lumber report positive attitudes about US species, architects, designers and developers continue to express concern about the performance of wood frame and hybrid construction in Taiwan’s hot, humid, and earthquake prone environment.  To address this need for ongoing education, SEC, APA-The Engineered Wood Association and FAS-Taipei held a one-day seminar that provided information about US softwood lumber properties and engineering considerations for wood frame and hybrid construction.
