  2. Lath and plaster - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lath_and_plaster

    Each wall frame is covered in lath, tacked at the studs. Wood lath is typically about one inch (2.5 cm) wide by four feet (1.2 m) long by 1 ⁄ 4 inch (6 mm) thick. Each horizontal course of lath is spaced about 3 ⁄ 8 inch (9.5 mm) away from its neighboring courses. Metal lath is available in 27-inch (69 cm) by 8-foot (240 cm) sheets.

  3. Joist - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joist

    There are approved formulas for calculating the depth required and reducing the depth as needed; however, a rule of thumb for calculating the depth of a wooden floor joist [3] for a residential property is to take half the span in feet, add two, and use the resulting number as the depth in inches; for example, the joist depth required for a 14 ...

  5. Framing (construction) - Wikipedia

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

    I-joists (closed-web trusses) are often made from laminated woods, most often chipped poplar wood, in panels as thin as 1 cm (0.39 in), glued between horizontally laminated members of less than 4 cm by 4 cm (two-by-twos), to span distances of as much as 9 m (30 ft). Open web trussed joists and rafters are often formed of 4 cm by 9 cm (two-by ...

  6. Double tee - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_tee

    The load tables use the code to identify double tee span type by using the width in feet, followed by "DT", followed by depth in inches, for example, 4DT14 is for 4-foot (1.2 m) wide, 14-inch (36 cm) deep double tees. In its first publication there were seven double tee types from 4DT14 to 10DT32.

  7. Trimmer (construction) - Wikipedia

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

    Trimmers are installed parallel to the primary floor or ceiling joists and support headers, which run perpendicular to the primary joists. [1] [2] It can also refer to a jack stud that supports a header above a window or door opening. Traditionally, a stud which was less than full length was sometimes referred to as a cripple.

    3 PbF 2 + P 2 S 5 → 3 PbS + 2 PSF 3. at 170 °C, and also substituting a mixture of red phosphorus and sulfur, and substituting bismuth trifluoride. [5] Another way to prepare PSF 3 is to add fluoride to PSCl 3 using sodium fluoride in acetonitrile. [8] A high yield reaction can be used to produce the gas: [citation needed] P 4 S 10 + 12 HF ...

    The distance between ribs is typically 915 mm (3 ft). [3] The height of the ribs and beams should be 1 ⁄ 25 of the span between columns. [3] The width of the solid area around the column should be 1 ⁄ 8 of the span between columns. Its height should be the same as the ribs.
