Developing an event tree for probabilistic moisture risk analysis of urban tall timber buildings

Tall buildings are particularly exposed to high wind pressures combined with driving rain. Additionally, large-scale buildings require longer construction times in which the structural elements are especially exposed to moisture. Finally yet possibly important, inspection, maintenance, and repair possibilities are limited or costly in multi-storey envelopes. Against this background, large-scale timber buildings today must be innovative, flexible, highly insulated, but also moisture-safe, cost-efficient and durable.
