Structural Timber Design: Properties of Philippine Wood and Lumber

This document discusses structural timber design and properties of Philippine wood and lumber. It defines timber as wood used for building, specifically trees grown for their wood. Structural design is described as a method to determine the safe and cost-effective specifications of a structure or its parts to withstand loads, such as finding the right cross-sectional dimensions, material grades, and reinforcement needed based on structural analysis.

TIMBER DESIGN
Properties of Philippine Wood and Lumber
◦ Timber
◦ wood used for building:
◦ trees that are grown so that the wood from them can be used for building:
◦ a long piece of wood used for building, especially houses and ships:

◦ What is Structural Design?


◦ It is a method or tool by which we find out safe and economical specifications of a structure
or a member of the structure sufficient to carry the load.
◦ In other words finding out cross-sectional dimension, grade of material, amount of
reinforcement etc. necessary to withstand the internal forces that we have got from
structural analysis.
