  2. Structural material - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_material

    Timber is the oldest of structural materials, and though mainly supplanted by steel, masonry and concrete, it is still used in a significant number of buildings. The properties of timber are non-linear and very variable, depending on the quality, treatment of wood, and type of wood supplied.

  4. Structural engineering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_engineering

    Structural engineering depends on the knowledge of materials and their properties, in order to understand how different materials support and resist loads. It also involves a knowledge of Corrosion engineering to avoid for example galvanic coupling of dissimilar materials. Common structural materials are: Iron: wrought iron, cast iron

  5. Structural steel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_steel

    Structural steel is a category of steel used for making construction materials in a variety of shapes. Many structural steel shapes take the form of an elongated beam having a profile of a specific cross section .

  7. Framing (construction) - Wikipedia

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

    Framing materials are usually wood, engineered wood, or structural steel. The alternative to framed construction is generally called mass wall construction, where horizontal layers of stacked materials such as log building, masonry, rammed earth, adobe, etc. are used without framing. [citation needed]

  8. Structural engineering theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_engineering_theory

    Structural engineering depends upon a detailed knowledge of loads, physics and materials to understand and predict how structures support and resist self-weight and imposed loads. To apply the knowledge successfully structural engineers will need a detailed knowledge of mathematics and of relevant empirical and theoretical design codes.

  9. Metallic microlattice - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metallic_microlattice

    A metallic microlattice is a synthetic porous metallic material consisting of an ultra-light metal foam. With a density as low as 0.99 mg/cm 3 (0.00561 lb/ft 3), it is one of the lightest structural materials known to science. [1]
