And the best part about it is that the mineral itself actually improves the compressive strength for the concrete.

最厉害的部分是矿物本身实际上提高了混凝土的抗压强度。

As a result, wood lacked steel's tensile strength or concrete's compressive strength — each necessary to support tall buildings and battle the powerful winds found at high altitudes.

所以木材缺乏钢铁的抗拉强度或混凝土的抗压强度，而这些都是支撑高层建筑和对抗高海拔地区强风所必需的。

The resulting material benefits from wood's structural rigidity in every direction, allowing it to mimic the compressive strength of concrete and bear loads up to 20 times heavier than traditional lumber.

由此产生的材料得益于木材在各个方向的结构刚硬度，使其能具有像混凝土那样的抗压强度，并承受比传统木材重 20 倍的负荷。
