Q

Cross-laminated timber (clt)

A

layering dimension lumber is right angles to form structural panel. Like plywood CLT is formed from odd numbers of layers typically 3, 5 or 7. Panels are custom manufactured in range from 2 feet to 10 feet wide and up to 50 feet long. Very strong. Resist axial bending and wrecking loads and provide time from action for lateral loads spans up to 25 feet.

Q

Laminated veneer lumber (LVL)

A

thin glue laminated framing. Gluing thin veneers of lumber together to build up strong with your dimensionally stable framing member

22
Q

Glued laminated construction / glulams

A

individual pieces or lumber glued together and finished on the factory conditions for uses beams, columns, purlins and other structural components. Heavy loads and long spans. In most cases 1-1/2” actual depth pieces are used so overall depth is some multiple of 1-1/2”,

23
Q

Planking / decking

A

solid or laminated timber. Available in nominal thickness of 2, 3, 4, and 5 inches (actual sizes vary - manufactureD OF solid or laminated). tongue-and-groove edging, unlike sheeting, planking is intended to span greater distances between beams rather than between closely spaced joist. Common spans range from 4 feet to 20 feet.

24
Q

-Oil-borne wood preservatives

A

-Oil-borne preservatives: Creosote is oil-based so can’t be painted, toxic, no longer used in new construction; pentachlorophenol is oil-based so can’t be painted, think of a telephone pole

25
Q

4 Opaque wood finish types

A

Lacquer - Coding with high nitrocellulose content modified with resins and plasticizers dissolved in the volatile solvent.

Varnish - consisting of various types of business materials dissolved in one of several types of volatile liquids. Conservation varnish is produced with alkyd and urea formaldehyde resins. When high solids content is specified, the finish becomes opaque.

Polyurethane - synthetic finish that gives very hard, and durable finish. Difficult to repair or we finish, off of superior resistance to water, too many commercial and household chemicals, and to abrasion. Available in sheens from dull satin to full gloss.

Polyesters - another type of synthetic finish, gives hardest, most storable finish possible available only in full gloss sheen. Very difficult to repair and refinish, but very durable, 80% of hardness of glass.

26
Q

wood Stains, 2 TYPES

A

Water-Based - Yield A Uniform Color But Raise The Grain

Solvent-Based - Dry Quickly, Do Not Raise The Grain, But Less Uniform In Color

27
Q

What Is No. 1 Common Grade For Board Lumber - Softwood

A

No. 1 - Construction - Contains moderate number of tight knots. Paints well. - Siding, shelving, paneling

28
Q

What Is No. 2 Common Grade For Board Lumber - Softwood

A

No. 2 - Standard - Contains larger and more numerous knots. Will accept paint fairly well. - Siding, shelving, paneling

29
Q

What Is No. 3 Common Grade For Board Lumber - Softwood

A

No. 3 - Utility - Contains splits and knotholes. Will not accept paint well. - Sheathing, subflooring, crate construction

30
Q

What Is No. 4 Common Grade For Board Lumber - Softwood

A

No. 4 -Economy -Contains numerous splits, knotholes and similar defects, which large areas of waste wood. Will not paint well. -Sheathing, subflooring, creation of forms for concrete work

31
Q

What Is No. 5 Common Grade For Board Lumber - Softwood

A

No. 5 - Economy - Contains the largest amount of waste areas and courser defects. -Sheathing, subflooring, creation of forms for concrete work

32
Q

Plywood graded by Quality of face veneer. N-grade

A

N-grade - natural finish made from all heart wood or all sapwood. Free from defects -

33
Q

Plywood graded by Quality of face veneer. A-grade

A

A-grade - smooth and paintable, Best grade commonly available.

34
Q

Plywood graded by Quality of face veneer. B-grade

A

B grade - allows for plugged knotholes, smooth surface

35
Q

Plywood graded by Quality of face veneer. C-grade

A

C-grade - small knotholes, some splits

36
Q

Plywood graded by Quality of face veneer. D-grade

A

D-grade - allows for large knotholes

37
Q

Nominal dimensions from 1 to 5/4

A

1/4” less than nominal

38
Q

Nominal dimensions 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6

A

actual dimensions 1⁄2” less than their nominal dimension

39
Q

Nominal dimensions 8, 10, 12 and higher

A

3⁄4” less than their nominal dimension

40
Q

Board-feet

A

is an approximation of the volume of lumber needed,

measured in nominal dimensions.

A 1x10 that is 8 feet long is 1x10x8’/12=6.7 board-feet.

41
Q

-Water-borne wood preservatives

A

-Water-borne preservatives - PTI is less corrosive to metal fasteners; borate compounds (SBX and DOT) resist termites but not rot.

42
Q

Bored holes

A

annot exceed 40% of stud depth

43
Q

joist notches

boreholes

A

joist notches cannot exceed 1⁄6 of joist depth and may not be located in the middle third of the beam

boreholes annot exceed 40% of stud depth

44
Q

dry lumber mc

A

dry lumber - cannot exceed 19%

45
Q

kiln dried mc

A

kiln dried - moisture cannot exceed 15%

46
Q

matching between adjacent Venere leaves - 3 ways

A

Book matching – most common - every other piece is turned over Jason please former symmetrical grain pattern

Slip matching - consecutive pieces side-by-side

Random matching - no particular sequence

47
Q

matching veneers within a panel - 3 ways

A

Running match - simply alternates bookmatched Venere pieces regardless of the width how many must be used to complete a panel.

Balance match - Venere pieces a trimmed to equal widths

Central match - even number of veneer leaves of uniform width, so that there is some symmetry about a veneer joint in the center of the panel

48
Q

matching panels within a room - 3 ways

A

Not matched / pre-manufactured - cheapest - normally 4 foot wide by eight or 10 feet long or assembled from Single flitch that yields from 6 to 12 panels. Field cut to fit around doors windows and other obstructions, resulting in loss of grain continuity

Sequence matching - use this panels of uniform width - manufactured for a specific job veneers arranged in sequence. Some panels must be trimmed to fit around doors /obstructions, moderate loss of grain continuity.

Blueprint matching - most expensive, manufactured precisely to fit the room and line up with every obstruction so that grain continuity is not interrupted

49
Q

• Structural wood Panel Specification,

Exposure durability classification

A

Exterior: suitable for use as siding or other permanently exposed

applications

Exposure 1: have fully waterproof glue by don’t have veneers of as high a

quality as Exterior. Can be used for structural sheathing and subflooring

Exposure 2: suitable for panels that will be fully protected from weather and

will be subjected to a minimum of wetting during construction

About 95% of structural panel products are Exposure 1

50
Q

S-DRY

A

S-DRY: Lumber with moisture content of 19% or less.

51
Q

S-GRN:

A

S-GRN: Lumber with moisture content of 19% or more.

52
Q

MC 15 , KD 15

A

MC (moisture content) 15 or KD (kiln dried) 15: Lumber with moisture content of 15% or less. However, this classifications does not effect structural performance.

The drying means, either kiln or air dried, does not effect the structural performance of the wood.
