The word timber is derived from an English word timbrian which means to build.
The timber thus denotes wood that is suitable for building or carpentry or various
other engineering purposes.


INTRODUCTION
PROPERTIES
>low heat conductivity
>amenability to mechanical working
>bulk density
>Relatively high strength

PROCESSING OF TIMBER
>Felling of trees
>Seasoning of timber
>Conversion of timber
>Preservation of timber
TIMBER SECTIONS
>The process by which timber sections are cut and sawn is called conversion of
timber
>The conversion should be done in such a way that there is minimum wastage.





WOOD JOISTS FOR FLOORING
>Wood joist floors are an essential subsystem of wood light frame construction.
>The dimension lumber used for joists is easily worked and can be quickly
assembled on site with simple tools.
>Together with wood panel sheathing or subflooring, the wood joists form a level
working platform for construction.
>If properly engineered, the resulting floor structure can serve as a structural
diaphragm to transfer lateral loads to shear walls
>Bridging consists of wood or metal cross backing or full-depth
blocking between each joist at 8 intervals.

>Bridging may be required by some building codes if the joist
depth is 6 or more times its thickness.

>However, it is usually not necessary if the joist ends are
supported laterally against rotation and their top
compression edges are restrained by sheathing or subflooring.
