  2. Parallel-strand lumber - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallel-strand_lumber

    It is a member of the structural composite lumber (SCL) family of engineered wood products. [1] The design strength of PSL is greater than that of sawn lumber as the strands are glued together directionally and under high pressure. This results in a much denser and stronger material.

  3. Plywood - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plywood

    Aircraft plywood is available in thicknesses of 1 ⁄ 8 inch (3 mm) (3-ply construction) and upwards; typically aircraft plywood uses veneers of 0.5 mm (approx 1/64 in) thickness although much thinner veneers such as 0.1 mm are also used in construction of some of the thinner panels.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BS_1088

    It does not follow that it is a structural plywood. WBP Glue Line-- BS 1088 plywood must use an adhesive, which has been proven to be highly resistant to weather, micro-organisms, cold and boiling water, steam and dry heat. The product's bonding must pass a series of British Standard tests.

  5. Flitch beam - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flitch_beam

    The method for calculating the size of a flitch beam to be used in construction is straightforward, using the transformed-section method. The steel plate is treated as an equally stiff piece of wood, with its width modified by the ratio of their moduli of elasticity. This allows the deflection of the entire beam to be calculated as if it were ...

  6. 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 ...

  7. Timber framing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timber_framing

    Although the timbers can only be seen from inside the building when so enclosed, construction is less complex and insulation is greater than in traditional timber building. SIPs are "an insulating foam core sandwiched between two structural facings, typically oriented strand board" according to the Structural Insulated Panel Association. [ 18 ]

  8. Laminated veneer lumber - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laminated_veneer_lumber

    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.

  9. Blocking (construction) - Wikipedia

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

    The intervals for the blocks are specified in the building code or as calculated by a structural engineer. Blocking also resists the rotational movement, or twisting, of floor joists as they deflect under load. This may take the form of diagonal cross bracing, or herringbone, bracing between floor joists.
