Three traditionally commonplace techniques accompanied: • Post and beam are having major vertical and horizontal participants to carry the burden. • Balloon framing is a way which is suspending floors from the walls and different from the put up and beam. • Platform framing often paperwork wall sections horizontally at the sub-ground prior to erection, easing positioning of studs and growing accuracy even as slicing the essential manpower. Studs are purposely made at the least doubled at openings
creative forms that are associated with them. The development of Post and Lintel, arches, intaglio/etching and planographic process are a few that have interesting backgrounds. Post and Lintel is a system in which two members, also referred to as posts, hold up a third member called the lintel. What’s interesting about Post and Lintel is that all structural openings that have been development from the basic idea of post and lintel. The lintel must hold a majority of the weight that rests on it, as well
example of neoclassicism, the renewed emphasis on the classics. Parts of Monticello that show ties with classicism are the post-and-lintel style, the octagonal dome, and the combination of the two styles (Greek and Roman). Monticello is a beautifully designed house. In fact, it is Thomas Jefferson's house. The most obvious of the styles in Monticello is the post-and-lintel/Greek style temple. The front "porch" area of Monticello has four pillars and a pediment that rests atop the four of them. The
Mike Pagratis Art History Reading Questions Due: 10/6/16 Ch 1 Reading Questions 4) Post and Lintel Construction is made when giant structures are standing upright; these are called the posts. The lintels are the horizontal structures that are placed on top of the posts. The main structural limitations are the lintels cannot be extremely heavy and they have to be well supported by the posts, or else they can fall down. The most popular example that is also in our text is Stonehenge on page 18. 5)
other civilizations, like the Etruscans, architectural style consisted of a post-and-lintel system, which meant they had to two upright columns, a post, with a horizontal block, known as a lintel, laid flat across the top. An example of this style would be the Greek temple, the Parthenon, Acropolis. The buildings would look great and massive on the outside, but when it came to the interior, it was limited to space, as the lintels were very heavy, so much of the interior was dedicated to supporting the
Greek architecture has been commonly looked at as the building of democracy, often time people associate the post-and-lintel building element with the Greeks. However, the Romans used post-and-lintel system in their architecture too. One of the ways of distinguishing which building belongs to which civilization, is simply looking at the style of columns used. There are three post-and-lintel styles, Doric, Ionic, and Corinthian. The Greeks mainly used Doric and Ionic columns in their architecture.
The trabeated system, otherwise known as post-and-lintel, was one of the most important systematic principles used by ancient Greek architects. The way the structures were designed was by two vertical columns or posts holding up an horizontal architrave. Architects used this technique to support the weight of the architrave above openings. The trabeated system, not only used in ancient Greece, was also seen throughout prehistoric architecture as far back as the stone age. Stonehenge, assumed to be

Framing lumber should be grade-stamped, also have a moisture content material not more exceeding 19%.

sarsens circle, all of the blocks have been dressed, made smooth. A unique lintels was placed on the top of these stones, apparently reproducing the ring-beams of the original mortuary hut. People treated these stones as wood, making bevels and chamfers, and shaping mortice and tennon joints to peg the lintels to the uprights. Inside the circle of sarsens, it has five trilithons, pairs of upright stones surmounted by lintels, were arranged in a horseshoe setting rising in height towards the south-west
2,000 BC. There may have been plans for a fifth arrangement that was not completed. The material of the stones tie into the shape of Stonehenge. Stonehenge has an outer ring of tall stones in post-and-lintel formation, a building system where two upright members, the posts, hold up a third member, the lintel, laid horizontally across their top
