Terminology and Classification
The terms wood, lumber, and timber are often used
interchangeably, but each term has a distinct meaning.
Wood Hard fibrous substance lying beneath the bark of trees.
Lumber Wood that has been sawn into construction members.
Timber Lumber that is five inches or larger in its least dimension.

Terminology and Classification
Wood is classified as softwood or hardwood depending on the type of tree it originates from.
Softwoods, such as pine, fir, and spruce, come from needle-leaved conifers, which are evergreen
Hardwoods, such as maple, oak, and sycamore, come from broad-leaved deciduous trees, which shed their leaves annually.
The important difference between softwoods and hardwoods is botanical, which refers to the cellular structure of the two groups. Most hardwoods are in fact harder than softwoods; however balsa wood, one of the softest woods known is actually a hardwood.

Characteristics of Wood
Wood consists of approximately 70% cellulose and 18% to 28% lignin, which is the adhesive imparting strength to the wood.
The remainder is made up of minerals and extractives, which give wood its color, odor, and resistance to decay.

Cutting and Sawing Lumber
Lumber can be cut from a log in two different ways: tangent to the annual rings, called plain-sawed in hardwoods and flat-grained or slain-grained in softwoods.
Lumber cut radially to the annual rings is called quarter-sawed in hardwoods, and edge-grained or vertical-grained in softwoods.
Lumber is classified as quarter-sawed if the grain is 45 degrees to 90 degrees to the wide face and plain-sawed if the grain is 0 degrees to 45 degrees to the wide face.

Cutting and Sawing Lumber
Characteristics of plain-sawed lumber include:
1. Distinct grain pattern,
2. May twist, cup, or wear unevenly,
3. Tends to have a raised grain,
4. Shrinks and swells more in width, less in thickness,
5. Less waste in cutting, and therefore less expensive.
![Page 8: Wood. Terminology and Classification The terms wood, lumber, and timber are often used interchangeably, but each term has a distinct meaning. Wood Hard.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062223/55180ea855034696438b46db/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Cutting and Sawing Lumber
Characteristics of quarter-sawed lumber include:
1. Relatively even grain pattern,
2. Wears evenly with less warpage,
3. Shrinks and swells more in thickness, less in width,
4. More waste in cutting and therefore more costly.
![Page 9: Wood. Terminology and Classification The terms wood, lumber, and timber are often used interchangeably, but each term has a distinct meaning. Wood Hard.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062223/55180ea855034696438b46db/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Shrinkage, distortion, and warpage of lumber depends partially on the way lumber is cut from a tree. Wood shrinks most in the direction of the annual growth rings (tangentially); less across these rings (radially); and very little parallel to the grain (longitudinally).
![Page 10: Wood. Terminology and Classification The terms wood, lumber, and timber are often used interchangeably, but each term has a distinct meaning. Wood Hard.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062223/55180ea855034696438b46db/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
As moisture content in the cells of wood changes, particularly as it dries out, wood members can change shape if the change moisture content is not done in controlled conditions. As wood dries out the amount of shrinkage differs in various directions.
Shrinkage is limited to parallel to the grain of the wood. It is greatest when measured in a tangent to the growth rings. The amount of shrinkage along the radius of the wood is less than that tangentially. Depending on where in the log the member is cut from, uncontrolled drying can cause wood members to exhibit unusual shapes as shown here in this exaggerated illustration.
Seasoning of Wood

![Page 11: Wood. Terminology and Classification The terms wood, lumber, and timber are often used interchangeably, but each term has a distinct meaning. Wood Hard.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062223/55180ea855034696438b46db/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Making wood suitable for construction involved more than simply cutting down a tree and sawing the wood to size. Wood in a tree is green, that is, contains a large amount of water. If green lumber is used in construction, it will shrink as it dries out.
Seasoning of Wood

Making wood suitable for construction involved more than simply cutting down a tree and sawing the wood to size. Wood in a tree is green, that is, contains a large amount of water. If green lumber is used in construction, it will shrink as it dries out.
To minimize shrinkage, lumber should be seasoned dried before use to between10% to 20% moisture content. This can be accomplished by air drying, which takes several weeks or kiln drying.which takes only a few days. Over 90% of lumber is kiln dried
Framing lumber is considered seasoned if its moisture content is 19% or less.

T = Tension
C= Compression
Wood is generally stronger in compression than tension. Unlike other materials, the strength of wood is not the same in every direction for tension and compression.
Wood is stronger when the load is applied parallel to the grain than perpendicular to the grain. In fact, the strength of wood in tension perpendicular to the grain is so low that this type of loading can easily cause the wood to split.
For shear, wood is very strong perpendicular to the grain and relatively weak parallel to the grain. Therefore, horizontal shear stress (parallel to the grain) is often a design consideration, while vertical shear stress (perpendicular to the grain) is not.

• What is considered an acceptable moisture content of framing lumber?
19%
Weight of the water in the wood is 19% of the weight of the dry wood. If the wood was 100 pounds dry, then it has 19 pounds of water in it.

Laminated Veneer Lumber (LVL) LVL is made by gluing sheets of veneer together. Unlike plywood, here all
veneer layers are going in the same direction. Wide panels are manufactured to the thickness of the desired lumber. The panels are
ripped into lumber of nominal width.

Masonite
Type of hardboard invented by William H. Mason.[1] It is formed using the Mason method, using wooden chips and blasting them into long fibers with steam and then forming them into boards. The boards are then pressed and heated to form the finished
boards. No glue or other material is added.

Span RatingFirst number - maximum recommended roof span in inches if used as roof sheathing
Second number -maximum recommended span use as subflooring.
For example, a panel identified as 32/16 can be used as roof sheathing over rafters spaced 32 inches on center or as subflooring over joists spaced 16 inches on center.

Glued Laminated Lumber (Glulam) These beams are made by gluing many boards together to form a
structural member bigger than the trees from which the board were sawn. Since the load is carried by the material in the top and bottom faces and the middle only has to resist shear, high quality lumber is used in the top
and bottom while medium grade lumber is used in the center. (gluelam or glulam) Joints between boards are typically scarf or finger joints.
