  2. Pole building framing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pole_building_framing

    Pole framing or post-frame construction[1] (pole building framing, pole building, pole barn) is a simplified building technique that is an alternative to the labor-intensive traditional timber framing technique. It uses large poles or posts buried in the ground or on a foundation to provide the vertical structural support, along with girts to ...

  3. Parallel-strand lumber - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallel-strand_lumber

    The beams are continuously formed, so the length of the beam is limited only to the maximum length that can be handled and transported. Typical widths are 3 + 1 ⁄ 2 , 5 + 1 ⁄ 4 or 7 inches (89, 133 or 178 mm); typical depths are 9 + 1 ⁄ 2 , 11 + 7 ⁄ 8 , 14, 16 and 18 inches (240, 300, 360, 410 and 460 mm).

  6. Laminated veneer lumber - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laminated_veneer_lumber

    Laminated veneer lumber (LVL) is an engineered wood product that uses multiple layers of thin wood assembled with adhesives. It is typically used for headers, beams, rimboard, and edge-forming material. LVL offers several advantages over typical milled lumber: Made in a factory under controlled specifications, it is stronger, straighter, and ...

  7. T-beam - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T-beam

    Unlike an I-beam, a T-beam lacks a bottom flange, which carries savings in terms of materials, but at the loss of resistance to tensile forces. [5] T- beam designs come in many sizes, lengths and widths to suit where they are to be used (eg highway bridge, underground parking garage) and how they have to resist the tension, compression and shear stresses associated with beam bending in their ...

  8. Truss - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truss

    A truss is an assembly of members such as beams, connected by nodes, that creates a rigid structure. [ 1 ] In engineering, a truss is a structure that "consists of two-force members only, where the members are organized so that the assemblage as a whole behaves as a single object". [ 2 ]

  9. Flitch beam - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flitch_beam

    Flitch beam. A flitch beam (or flitched beam) is a compound beam used in the construction of houses, decks, and other primarily wood-frame structures. Typically, the flitch beam is made up of a vertical steel plate sandwiched between two wood beams, the three layers being held together with bolts. In that common form it is sometimes referenced ...
