framing then let’s say concrete. But concrete would need time to cure ect. 5. What is the risk of shrinkage in wood midrise, the type of shrinkage and ways to prevent it? Most of the wood that we are getting is engineered. The beams and other spans are just typical wood, they are engineered and charred to with stand fires, and are able to expand and shrink with at ease with the building. 6. Is there restriction on live on dead load overall in wood midrise? No, we would not of done this type of building

having wood floors increases the value of your home. Not too long ago, the only choice you had was the old-fashioned solid wood tongue and groove strips in maple or oak. Today, wood flooring can be planks from old barns, exotic woods, pre-finished engineered wood strips which eliminate the dust and disruption of finishing on site. You even can have wood laminate flooring, which isn 't wood, but looks like wood at a much lower cost. SOLID WOOD FLOORING - Solid wood floors, although beautiful, can 't

characteristics. The performance demonstrated the effectiveness of this configuration from a perspective design (Broughton et al., 1999). However, designing an optimum French cleat using engineered wood material is complex due to the physical properties and fiber direction that might influence the joint performance. LVL is an engineered wood product and has been developed as an alternative to solid wood. According to Colak et al. (2004), due to the manufacturing process in the making of LVL, this material produced

Engineered oak has been designed specifically for construction and contains enhanced thermal properties that will make your home safer, warmer and more energy efficient. This makes it a perfect choice for an external door, particularly a front door, and the sturdy, engineered wood will be given an oak veneer so that all but the most keen-eyes wood affectionados would be able to tell the difference. Solid oak is also more likely to warp than engineered wood, as it's a natural

Laminated Timber Over the past few decades, practitioners and researchers across the world have managed to make advancements in building system technologies that require the use of large dimension engineered wood panel elements, columns and beams. Commonly referred to as “mass timber”, these engineered wood products have given builders and designers the ability to construct large scale structures with higher performance for commercial use. Mass timber has revolutionized the use of wood in the construction

Engineered Foods, A Curse or Cure? Engineered foods may be risky, but they may also be necessary with a growing planet. Before reading, “Are Engineered Foods Evil?,” by David Freedman, one may be convinced that genetically modified foods are considerably dangerous due to what some may perceive as lack of research and a misunderstanding of why they could be helpful. But, after reading Freedman’s very persuasive article one’s point of view could changed based on Freedman’s strong use of ethos and

An Engineered Wonder of the World "This bridge needs neither praise, eulogy nor encomium. It speaks for itself. We who have labored long are grateful. What Nature rent asunder long ago, man has joined today." This is a quote from Joseph Strauss, the engineer that designed the Golden Gate Bridge. The Golden Gate Bridge is truly a piece of engineering excellence. It stretches for almost 9,000 feet over the San Francisco Bay, in San Francisco, California. The bridge has faced many problems during the

short lifespan. It is still used extensively where the labour costs are lower than the costs for procuring reusable formwork. It is also the most flexible type of formwork, so even where other systems are in use, complicated sections may use it. Engineered Formwork System: This formwork is built out of prefabricated modules with a metal frame (usually steel or aluminium) and covered on the application (concrete) side with material having the wanted surface structure (steel, aluminium, timber, etc

First, Chris and I looked online for the proportions of the Pantheon in order to properly scale it down to a model size. I used our domes planned diameter of 7 inches and compared it to that of the real Pantheon dome diameter to find a ratio. We were able to use this ratio to scale the sizes of our model. Next, we used a compass to sketch a circle with a radius of 3.625 inches into a Maple Log and then proceeded to cut it out using a bandsaw. Due to the fact that the shape was not a perfectly cut
