  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. Board foot - Wikipedia

    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 ...

  4. Real versus nominal value (philosophy) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real_versus_nominal_value...

    The nominal size may not match any dimension of the product, but within the domain of that product the nominal size may correspond to a large number of highly standardized dimensions and tolerances. Nominal sizes may be well-standardized across an industry, or may be proprietary to one manufacturer. Applying the nominal size across domains ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Lumber

    In the United States and Canada sawn wood products of five inches (127 millimeters) (nominal size) diameter or greater are sometimes called "timbers". Lumber is supplied either rough or finished. Rough lumber is the raw material for furniture making and other items requiring additional cutting and shaping.

  6. Plank (wood) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plank_(wood)

    The wood is categorized as a board if its width is less than 2 + 1 ⁄ 2 in (64 mm), and its thickness is less than 1 + 1 ⁄ 2 in (38 mm). A plank used in a building as a horizontal supporting member that runs between foundations, walls, or beams to support a ceiling or floor is called a joist.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallel-strand_lumber

    [citation needed] PSL can be made from any wood species, but Douglas fir, southern pine, western hemlock, and yellow poplar are commonly chosen [9] because of their superior strength. The product is manufactured as a 12-by-12-inch (300 mm × 300 mm) or 12-by-18-inch (300 mm × 460 mm) billet in a rectangular cross-section, which is then ...

    A cord of wood. The cord is a unit of measure of dry volume used to measure firewood and pulpwood in the United States and Canada.. A cord is the amount of wood that, when "racked and well stowed" (arranged so pieces are aligned, parallel, touching, and compact), occupies a volume of 128 cubic feet (3.62 m 3). [1]

  9. Size effect on structural strength - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Size_Effect_on_Structural...

    According to the classical theories of elastic or plastic structures made from a material with non-random strength (f t), the nominal strength (σ N) of a structure is independent of the structure size (D) when geometrically similar structures are considered. [1] Any deviation from this property is called the size effect.
