BRIEF INTRODUCTION
Physical Properties of Wood
Wood is one of the most flexible and generally used materials in the world. It can be used in anything from furniture
such as chairs, tables, and cabinets to building timber structures and sheds.
Physical Properties
1. Moisture content- The amount of moisture in wood is ordinarily expressed as a
percentage of the weight of the wood when oven dry.
MC = moist weight - oven dry weight x 100 percent (3-1)
oven dry weight
2. Shrinkage occurs when wood loses moisture below the fiber saturation point.
3. Density of wood is determined by the amount of cell wall substance and the volume of voids by the cell cavities
(lumens) of the fibers.
4. Permeability characterizes the ability of wood to flow liquids or gases under pressure.
5. Mass is a thermal property that includes heat capacity, thermal conductivity, thermal diffusivity and thermal
expansion.
6. Electrical is the ability of wood to conduct an electric current that is inversely related to electrical resistance.
Mechanical Properties of Wood
A. Bending stresses, the lumber is stressed internally to resist the external loads. Bending in a
member causes tension forces in the extreme fibers along the face farthest from the load and
causes compression in the fiber along the side closest to the applied load. The maximum stress
induced in the fibers, which occurs at the edges, is referred to as the ‘‘extreme fiber stress in
bending.’’
B. Modulus of Elasticity (MOE) is a measure of stiffness. This factor is a relationship between
the amount of deflection in the member and the value of load applied that causes the deflection.
The amount of deflection depends on the size of the member, the span between the supports, the load, and the
particular member specie of wood.
Carpentry: Classification of Wood
C. Tensile and Compressive Strengths is a measure of the ability of wood to resist pulling forces. On the other
hand, compressive strength is a measure of the ability of wood to resist pushing forces. For clear wood (wood without
defects), the tensile and compressive strengths for parallel-to-grain loads are approximately 10 times greater than for
loads applied perpendicular to the wood grain.
Lumber varies greatly in structural characteristics. A carpenter must learn about lumber so that he can choose the
most suitable material for each job. The primary components used in frame construction are lumber and hardware.
This section includes information on the types and sizes of lumber.
Classification of Wood
The classification of wood for lumber depends on many variables. Size, wood quality and level of pretreatment all play
a part in figuring out which sort of wood is right for each construction effort.
Classification by Size
Lumber is usually sawed into standard dimensions (length, width, and thickness). This allows uniformity in planning
structures and in ordering materials. Table 1 list the common widths and thicknesses of wood in rough and dressed
dimension in the US. Standards have been established for dimension differences between the quoted size of lumber
and its standard sizes when dressed.
Quoted size refers to dimensions prior to surfacing. These dimensions differences must be taken into consideration.
A good example of the dimension difference is the common 2x 4. As shown in Table 1, the familiar quoted size 2x4 is
the rough nominal dimension, but the actual dressed size is 1 ½ x 3 ½ inches. Lumber is a sawn in standard sizes
used for light framing.
● Thickness: 1, 2, and 4 inches.
● Width: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12 inches.
● Length: 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, and 20 feet
The actual dimensions of dressed lumber are less than the sawn dimension because of drying and planning (or
finishing). For the relative difference between sawn (standard or nominal) dimensions and actual sizes of construction
lumber.
Nominal Size (In Inches) Dressed Size (In Inches) Nominal Size (In Inches) Dressed Size (In Inches)
1x3 ¾x2½ 3x8 2½x7¼
1x4 ¾x3½ 3 x 12 2 ½ x 11 ¼
1x6 ¾x5½ 4 x 12 3 ½ x 11 ¼
1x8 ¾x7¼ 4 x 16 3 ½ x 15 ¼
1 x 10 ¾x9¼ 6 x 12 5 ½ x 11 ½
1 x 12 ¾ x 11 ¼ 6 x 16 5 ½ x 15 ½
2x4 1½x3½ 6 x 18 5 ½ x 17 ½
2x6 1½x5½ 8 x 16 7 ½ x 15 ½
2x8 1½x7¼ 8 x 20 7 ½ x 19 ½
2 x 10 1½x9¼ 8 x 24 7 ½ x 23 ½
2 x 12 1 ½ x 11 ¼
In the construction of formworks wood is the most important material needed. You will be selecting the appropriate
lumber for every part of the forms. You also need to learn how to identify the different defects of wood which may
cause unnecessary failures in the assembling process.
