The paper deals with the experimental examination of flame burning on mass loss for the two types of wood beams - solid wood beam and glue laminated spruce wood timber (glulam). As for the glulam, the paper looks into the effect of the number of joints on wood burning. All samples have...
In addition, finite element analysis of FRP RC beam is under performed to select the most appropriate FRP model and to validate the analysis technique. All of the analysis results for four selected FRP models are compared to verify and select the optimum model. Finally, a discussion about the...

There are about 45 different kinds of species of termites found in the U.S., each of which falls into one of the three main termite types: Subterranean Drywood Dampwood Each species has unique biology and behavior that impact what part of the country they live in, where they build their...
Wood beams can be placed inside a large steel channel for added strength while still allowing joists and other components to be easily attached to the wood beam. Alternatively, a smaller steel channel can be added at the bottom of the beam and supported by supports to boost the strength of ...
Narrow blades are fitted to a small, lightweight frame in thebow saw. This makes them ideally suited to making curved cuts, as they can be turned 360 degrees to move frames out of the way. At 8 to 12 inches long, they’re hardy enough to saw through thick sections of solid wood. ...

The deck is basically an open space outside of your house without having the roof on it. Decks provide an amazing view of the environment. The decks can be constructed at multiple layers. The deck is usually constructed from wood and surroundedbyrailings. The wood makes the deck warmer. Th...
Scaffolding is a key component of building construction and has been used in some form as long as humans have been building taller structures. Over the years, wood scaffolding has largely given way to steel, and some jobs that used to require scaffolding are now completed with scissor or aeria...
