Timber‐framed construction

Structural Survey, 1984
There has been in the last two or three years a considerable growth of interest in the use of timber framed buildings, primarily for housing, and it might be inferred that this form of construction is a new technique. In fact, the method has been in existence in the United Kingdom for approximately 20 years.

Timber Tower Research: Concrete Jointed Timber Frame

Structures Congress 2014, 2014
Tall buildings pose a challenge to the sustainability movement because they offer both positive and negative environmental impacts. Positive impacts include reducing urban sprawl, promoting alternative transportation, and allowing efficient energy use on a district scale. However, these benefits come with the cost of greater carbon emissions associated

Timber Frame Construction

Batiment International, Building Research and Practice, 1985
In his paper the Professor of Building Science at the University of Newcastle-upon-Tyne, UK, argues that the high air humidities and rapidly changing temperatures during winters in Britain create special problems for timber frame construction in that country; the problems are aggravated by the particular methods used in the UK.

Timber Frame Wall Materials

Batiment International, Building Research and Practice, 1985
This article from the BRE Princes Risborough Laboratory discusses test results on materials commonly used in timber frame wall construction in the UK; they show that some have significantly lower vapour resistance values at the higher relative humidities and lower temperatures that would represent actual winter service conditions.

Cladding the timber frame

2011
Timber cladding has traditionally been used on loadbearing timber framed walls, as discussed in this section. Its more recent application as cladding panels and as rainscreens is discussed in the second section of this chapter. There are two traditional generic forms of timber frame that use small section timbers to form framed loadbearing walls: the ...

Timber Engineering Notebook No. 6: Timber frame structures

The Structural Engineer, 2013
Fire safety is an essential building regulation design requirement for any completed building. It covers aspects such as fire resistance, means of escape, fire spread and space separation. The latter determines the minimum distance of the completed building from a notional boundary such as a centre line of a road.
