  2. Cross-laminated timber - Wikipedia

    It is classified as REI 90, indicating that it can retain the necessary load bearing capacity and meet integrity requirements for 90 minutes during a fire. [22] This leads to a better overall fire safety performance than unprotected steel, which loses its load bearing capacity after it is exposed to a fire for only 15 minutes. [23]

  3. Bearing capacity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bearing_capacity

    The bearing capacity of soil is the maximum average contact pressure between the foundation and the soil which should not produce shear failure in the soil. Ultimate bearing capacity is the theoretical maximum pressure which can be supported without failure; allowable bearing capacity is the ultimate bearing capacity divided by a factor of ...

    While plywood became widespread by the early 20th century, the invention of LVL was not until the 1980s after the invention of oriented strand board. [3] The American Wood Council's National Design Specification for Wood Construction is generally updated on a 3- to 5-year cycle. The 1991 release is the first release which mentions LVL.

  5. Timber framing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timber_framing

    Half-timbering refers to a structure with a frame of load-bearing timber, creating spaces between the timbers called panels (in German Gefach or Fächer = partitions), which are then filled-in with some kind of nonstructural material known as infill. The frame is often left exposed on the exterior of the building. [4]

  6. Plywood - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plywood

    Plywood for flooring applications is often tongue and groove (T&G); This prevents one board from moving up or down relative to its neighbor, providing a solid-feeling floor when the joints do not lie over joists. T&G plywood is usually found in the 13-to-25-millimetre (1 ⁄ 2 to 1 in) range.

  8. Lumber - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lumber

    Lumber is a sustainable and environmentally friendly construction material that could replace modern building materials (e.g. concrete and steel) given its structural performance, capacity to fixate CO 2 and low energy demand during the manufacturing process. [43] Substituting lumber for concrete or steel avoids the carbon emissions of those ...

  9. Oriented strand board - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oriented_strand_board

    The finished product has properties similar to plywood, but is uniform and cheaper. [10] When tested to failure, OSB has a greater load-bearing capacity than milled wood panels. [11] It has replaced plywood in many environments, especially the North American structural panel market.
