the structural design of steel beams with timber webs (SBTW). The beams analyzed will have three configurations: an I-Beam type where the steel flange width, bf, is greater than the timber web thickness, tw; a Box Beam configuration where the steel flange width is equal to the timber web thickness; and an Architectural Beam style where the steel flange width is less than the timber web thickness and the steel flanges are totally encapsulated within the timber web.

"Selective cutting" is the practice by which trees are cut down according to certain ascertainable features. If a tree were so old and large that

tribe? In looking at a map, I believe the edge of the Cross Timbers area into the Central Redbed Plains or Sandstone Hills near the Arbuckle Mountains would be best place to settle. By settling near the Arbuckle Mountains, I would have the ability to find caves for protection as well as possible living areas. While the Cross Timbers is a difficult area to live in due to the density of the forest, living near the edge would provide timber for building, protection from the winds that would roll across

In “Timber Rising”, Robert Reid outlines the benefits of constructing tall building using timber structural members, as well as the growing interest and research to do so. The largest motivation to use timber structural members presented in the article is the desire to design and build structures that are more sustainable. The author highlights an interview in which a professional in the field says constructing buildings using timber, compared to the conventional materials of steel and concrete,

foundation in a matter of hours, and soon they are ready to create the wood frame. Using only wooden pegs to fit into the notches, they create a 40’ structure, towering over the trees in the backyard. With much effort, this frame is what would become our timber frame house, made from pure wood. They didn’t use nails, in fact, they didn’t use a single nail at all.
