STRUCTURAL TIMBER FRAMING NGf. L CYMRU GCa. D STRUCTURAL TIMBER COMPONENTS Timber should be bought from sustainable sources. Such timber is stamped with the symbol of the accrediting body. www. ngfl-cymru. org. uk
STRUCTURAL TIMBER FRAMING NGf. L CYMRU GCa. D TIMBER STRENGTH Timber is stamped according to it’s strength properties, as described below: - Timber Species British Standard Quality Reference Strength Grade Condition Certification Authority www. ngfl-cymru. org. uk
STRUCTURAL TIMBER FRAMING NGf. L CYMRU GCa. D Structural components include pre-fabricated frames, wall panels, joists and roof trusses. www. ngfl-cymru. org. uk
STRUCTURAL TIMBER FRAMING NGf. L CYMRU GCa. D The design of structural members takes into account: Dead loads - which includes weight of the actual building, such as bricks, tiles and timber. Imposed loads – machinery, furniture etc. Live loads – the weight of people in the building. Snow and wind loads – when it snows, additional loading is imposed on the roof, and wind loads occur in high winds. Loads are illustrated on the next slide www. ngfl-cymru. org. uk

STRUCTURAL TIMBER FRAMING NGf. L CYMRU GCa. D Descriptions of the manufacturing process of structural elements follow: - www. ngfl-cymru. org. uk
STRUCTURAL TIMBER FRAMING NGf. L CYMRU GCa. D Factory-made components result in high levels of repetition, accuracy and quality. This leads to cost savings during construction. Timber components for a roof truss are laid out on a jig, as shown right. Each component is precut to the exact dimensions required. www. ngfl-cymru. org. uk
STRUCTURAL TIMBER FRAMING NGf. L CYMRU GCa. D Timber parts are fixed together mechanically, using toothed steel plates. www. ngfl-cymru. org. uk
STRUCTURAL TIMBER FRAMING NGf. L CYMRU GCa. D Studs (verticals) and sole plates are laid out to exact dimensions, and nailed together. www. ngfl-cymru. org. uk
STRUCTURAL TIMBER FRAMING NGf. L CYMRU GCa. D The panel head is offered up to the panel frame. The head is fixed with pneumatic nail guns. www. ngfl-cymru. org. uk
STRUCTURAL TIMBER FRAMING NGf. L CYMRU GCa. D Right – nails fixed to timber. Below – Pneumatic nail gun and nail cartridge. www. ngfl-cymru. org. uk
STRUCTURAL TIMBER FRAMING NGf. L CYMRU GCa. D Right - plywood is then nailed to the frame. Left – a breather membrane is placed over the plywood. www. ngfl-cymru. org. uk
STRUCTURAL TIMBER FRAMING NGf. L CYMRU GCa. D Bands are stapled to the panel to mark the positions of studs. This helps tradesmen on site to establish fixing points for other building components. www. ngfl-cymru. org. uk
STRUCTURAL TIMBER FRAMING NGf. L CYMRU GCa. D JOISTS Joists are structural components that span the width of a building. Finished joists, awaiting delivery to a construction site, are shown left. www. ngfl-cymru. org. uk
STRUCTURAL TIMBER FRAMING NGf. L CYMRU GCa. D Roof trusses, delivered to site and awaiting fixing. www. ngfl-cymru. org. uk
STRUCTURAL TIMBER FRAMING NGf. L CYMRU GCa. D A timber framed building under construction. www. ngfl-cymru. org. uk
STRUCTURAL TIMBER FRAMING NGf. L CYMRU GCa. D The foundation layout of a timber framed building is shown on the following slide, and construction methods of this type of foundation also follow. www. ngfl-cymru. org. uk

STRUCTURAL TIMBER FRAMING NGf. L CYMRU GCa. D Timber beams & joists form the superstructure In the above image, a steel frame connects the timber superstructure to the foundations. The red arrows indicate where columns are bolted to the foundations. A more detailed image is shown on the next slide. www. ngfl-cymru. org. uk
STRUCTURAL TIMBER FRAMING NGf. L CYMRU GCa. D Joists – will be fire protected by plasterboard before the building is occupied Steel beams – fire protected by sprayed on intumescent paint Block work: forms part of the structure, and offers fire protection to steelwork www. ngfl-cymru. org. uk
STRUCTURAL TIMBER FRAMING NGf. L CYMRU GCa. D Load carrying components are doubled in size and transmit building loads to the foundations: a close-up is shown on the www. ngfl-cymru. org. uk following slide.
STRUCTURAL TIMBER FRAMING NGf. L CYMRU GCa. D Studs Noggins www. ngfl-cymru. org. uk
STRUCTURAL TIMBER FRAMING NGf. L CYMRU GCa. D Prefabricated components are marked with their locations. This speeds up construction time and reduces construction costs. www. ngfl-cymru. org. uk
STRUCTURAL TIMBER FRAMING NGf. L CYMRU GCa. D Stud walls are fixed in position to form separate spaces. These will eventually be fire protected by plasterboard. www. ngfl-cymru. org. uk
STRUCTURAL TIMBER FRAMING NGf. L CYMRU GCa. D Once stud walls are fixed, first fixing for plumbing and power can take place. www. ngfl-cymru. org. uk
STRUCTURAL TIMBER FRAMING NGf. L CYMRU GCa. D As prefabricated components arrive, rapid construction follows. The above image shows the view looking down a communal corridor of an apartment block, whilst under construction. www. ngfl-cymru. org. uk
STRUCTURAL TIMBER FRAMING NGf. L CYMRU GCa. D A vapour barrier, used to stop rain water entering the building, is fixed externally. www. ngfl-cymru. org. uk
STRUCTURAL TIMBER FRAMING NGf. L CYMRU GCa. D Battens are fixed over the vapour barrier, and insulation is fitted between the battens. Cement render is applied to provide an external finish. Colour pigment can be included in the render (known as a through-colour render), or the render can be painted after curing. www. ngfl-cymru. org. uk
STRUCTURAL TIMBER FRAMING NGf. L CYMRU GCa. D Large items, such as roof trusses are lifted into place with a crane. www. ngfl-cymru. org. uk
STRUCTURAL TIMBER FRAMING NGf. L CYMRU GCa. D Roof trusses awaiting fixing. www. ngfl-cymru. org. uk
STRUCTURAL TIMBER FRAMING NGf. L CYMRU GCa. D Roof trusses fixed in place, ready for roofing contractors. www. ngfl-cymru. org. uk
STRUCTURAL TIMBER FRAMING NGf. L CYMRU GCa. D Structural flooring and wall panels, stored on site and ready for fixing. www. ngfl-cymru. org. uk
