  2. Lumber - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lumber

    Lumber's nominal dimensions are larger than the actual standard dimensions of finished lumber. Historically, the nominal dimensions were the size of the green (not dried), rough (unfinished) boards that eventually became smaller finished lumber through drying and planing (to smooth the wood).

  3. Parallel-strand lumber - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallel-strand_lumber

    Parallel-strand lumber (PSL) is a form of engineered wood made from parallel wood strands bonded together with adhesive. It is used for beams, headers, columns, and posts, among other uses. The strands in PSL are clipped veneer elements having a least dimension of not more than inch (6.4 mm) and an average length of at least 300 times this ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Board_foot

    Note: see dimensional lumber for a full discussion of the relationship of actual and nominal dimensions. Briefly, for softwoods, to convert nominal to actual, subtract 1 ⁄ 4 inch (6 mm) for dimensions under 2 inches; subtract 1 ⁄ 2 inch (13 mm) for dimensions over 2 inches and under 8 inches; and subtract 3 ⁄ 4 inch (19 mm) for larger ...

  6. Sill plate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sill_plate

    In modern wood construction, sills usually come in sizes of 2×4, 2×6, 2×8, and 2×10. In stick framing, the sill is made of treated lumber, and is anchored to the foundation wall, often with J-bolts, to keep the building from coming off the foundation during a severe storm or earthquake. Building codes require that the bottom of the sill ...

  7. Geometric dimensioning and tolerancing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geometric_dimensioning_and...

    Example of true position geometric control defined by basic dimensions and datum features. Geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T) is a system for defining and communicating engineering tolerances via a symbolic language on engineering drawings and computer-generated 3D models that describes a physical object's nominal geometry and the permissible variation thereof.

  8. Hollow structural section - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hollow_structural_section

    A hot-rolled HSS-box section cut open with a bandsaw, demonstrating residual stress. A hollow structural section (HSS) is a type of metal profile with a hollow cross section. The term is used predominantly in the United States, or other countries which follow US construction or engineering terminology. HSS members can be circular, square, or ...
