    Wood and Timber
    • Wood: "Wood" is a general term that
    refers to the substance that makes
    up the trunks, branches, and roots of
    trees and woody plants. It
    encompasses the entire material that
    comes from trees, including both
    living and dead wood.
    • Timber: "Timber" specifically refers to
    wood that has been processed and
    prepared for use in construction or
    woodworking. Timber is typically cut,
    sawn, planed, and treated to meet
    specific size, quality, and strength
    requirements.
    Uses of Timber

    • Timber is primarily used in construction,


    woodworking, and other structural
    applications. It is processed and selected
    for its strength, durability, and suitability
    for building structures and making
    furniture.

    Characteristics and
    Classification of Timbers
    Timber is the most common building materials
    because of the following properties:
    • a strong material
    • has durability
    • light in weight
    • ease of fastening
    • with the artistic
    Physical Properties of Timber
    1. Moisture Content- it is the amount of water content. The
    strength depends on its moisture content. The moisture
    content affects the weight, dimension, and strength of wood.
    2. Density is the mass of a unit volume of wood and is typically
    expressed in kilograms per cubic meter (kg/m³) or pounds
    per cubic foot (lb/ft³). Different wood species have varying
    densities, which affect their strength and weight.
    3. Grain Pattern: The grain pattern refers to the arrangement of
    wood fibers within the material. It can be straight, interlocked,
    spiral, or wavy, and it contributes to the appearance and
    workability of the wood.
    4. Strength: Timber has both tensile strength (resistance to
    pulling forces), compressive strength (resistance to pushing
    forces), and shear strength (resistance to forces acting
    parallel to the grain). Different wood species have varying
    strength characteristics.
    Choice of Timber on Strength Basis
    • For Structural Members such as BEAMS,
    RAFTERS, POST AND FLOOR JOIST a
    high bending strength and stiffness is a
    better choice of timber
    • For Structural members such as Column,
    Wood Piles and Post; choose a high
    compressive strength timber

    DRESSED DIMENSION
    a) For dimensions 4 inches or less dD=dN -3/8’’
    b) For dimensions greater than 4 inches dD=dN -1/2’’

    Where
    dN = Nominal dimension
    The SXS designation- simply referes to how many sides
    have been presurfaced or finished.
    • S2S - surfaced 2 sides
    • S3S - surfaced 3 sides
    • S4S - surfaced 4 sides
    Board Foot

    Board ft = (L x W x t)
    Note: convert all
    measurements to ft
    Sample Problem
    • Dressed dimension
    • 2” ½ x 6’’ S2S
    • 2 x 2 S4S
    • 2 x 4 S4S
    • 2x4 S2S

    Board foot
    1. How much will it cost to buy a five 2”x4” x 6 meters narra. If the narra cost 250 per
    board foot?
    2. How much will it cost to buy 2 ½ “x 4” x 8 meters mahogany if it cost 30 pesos per
    board foot.
