  2. Framing (construction) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Framing_(construction)

    Engineered components are commonly used to form floor, ceiling and roof structures in place of solid wood. I-joists (closed-web trusses) are often made from laminated woods, most often chipped poplar wood, in panels as thin as 1 cm (0.39 in), glued between horizontally laminated members of less than 4 cm by 4 cm (two-by-twos), to span distances ...

  3. Underfloor heating - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Underfloor_heating

    Electric heating elements or hydronic piping can be cast in a concrete floor slab ("poured floor system" or "wet system"). They can also be placed under the floor covering ("dry system") or attached directly to a wood sub floor ("sub floor system" or "dry system").

  4. Pole building framing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pole_building_framing

    The structural frame of a pole building is made of tree trunks, utility poles, engineered lumber or chemically pressure-treated squared timbers which may be buried in the ground or anchored to a concrete slab. Generally the posts are evenly spaced 8 to 12 feet (2.4 to 3.7 m) apart except to allow for doors.

  5. Structural element - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_element

    Examples are wood or steel roof trusses, floor trusses, floor panels, I-joists, or engineered beams and headers. A structural building component manufacturer or truss manufacturer is an individual or company regularly engaged in the manufacturing of components. Structural elements can be lines, surfaces or volumes.

  6. Laminated veneer lumber - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laminated_veneer_lumber

    In LVL, the direction of the wood grain is always parallel to the length of the billet. [6] The stacking of these veneers into a complete board, called a billet, creates a single piece of LVL sharing a common direction of wood grain. [1] LVL is typically rated by the manufacturer for elastic modulus and allowable bending stress.

  7. Concrete slab - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concrete_slab

    Without insulation, concrete slabs cast directly on the ground can cause a significant amount of extraneous energy transfer by conduction, resulting in either lost heat or unwanted heat. In modern construction, concrete slabs are usually cast above a layer of insulation such as expanded polystyrene, and the slab may contain underfloor heating ...

  8. Glossary of structural engineering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_structural...

    Rather, bents are simply cross-sectional templates of structural members, i.e., rafters, joists, posts, pilings, etc., that repeat on parallel planes along the length of the structure. The term bent is not restricted to any particular material. Bents may be formed of wooden piles, timber framing, [17] steel framing, or even concrete. [18]

  9. Underfloor air distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Underfloor_air_distribution

    UFAD systems use an underfloor supply plenum located between the structural concrete slab and a raised floor system to supply conditioned air to supply outlets (usually floor diffusers), located at or near floor level within the occupied space. Air returns from the room at ceiling level or the maximum allowable height above the occupied zone.
