"Description of Timber"

-


    

The technical name of wood is known as “timber”. It is used as a construction material like as for the construction of battens, posts, beams, planks and rafter. Timber has required minimum size for use.  After finishing it is used for the construction purpose and also used for industry. Timber is also known as “Lumber”.

We can easily see the historical places, old bridges, timber cooling towers (which is used in power plants and other plants) and old very ancient temples are made from wooden part and timber is play an important role for built these structure.



Classification of Timber:-

     (1.)  Exogeneous Timber- (Outward Growth)-Example-Conifer, Pine, Fir, Teak etc.

     (2.)  Indogeneous Timber-(Inward Growth)-Example-Bamboo, Cane, Palm etc.

    (2.)  Sisham

    (3.)  Teak

    (4.)  Sagwan

    (5.)  Sakhua

    (6.)  Mango

    (7.)  Jack

    (8.)  Bamboo

    (9.)  Laminated Timber

    (10.) Mahogany

    (11.) Sandle Wood 

    (12.) Cherry

    (13.) Pine wood

    (14.) Tulip wood

Advantage of Timber:-

(1.)  It is used for window, door, roof , floor making because it can easily converted into required shape and size.

(2.)  It is used as a columns, beams, bracing because it has a good strength and also good better bearing capacity.

(3.)  It is used for shoring, shuttering and scaffolding material.

Properties of Good Timber:-

(1.)  It has uniform colour.

(2.)  Its grain will very close.

(3.)  It will hard and more durable.

(4.)  It has higher fire resistance.


(5.)  It will free from defects like as cracks, knots, shakes etc.

(6.)  Its density will high.

(7.)  Its corner will even.

(8.)  When it will cut, have a uniform colour shown.

Seasoning of Timber:-

The process in which reduce the moisture in freshly cut tree from different procedure is known as seasoning of timber.

Benefits of Seasoning:-

(1.)  After seasoning of timber it will ready for paint application.

(2.)  After seasoning durability of timber is increases and timer is more protecting from fungi, insects and worms.

(3.)  After seasoning it is suitable for gluing.

(4.)  If it is used for fuel, it will burn easily.

(5.)  Decrease the weight

(6.)  Make it more workable.

(7.)  Receive more strength and hardness

(8.)  Reduce cracking and warping

Method of Seasoning:-

Mainly two method of seasoning is followed:-

(1.) Natural Seasoning-------- 

                                 (a.)Air Seasoning

 (b.) Water Seasoning

(2.) Artificial Seasoning------ 
      
                               (a.)Boiling

(b.)Kiln Seasoning

(c.)Chemical Seasoning

                                  (d.)Electrical Seasoning

Advantage of natural Seasoning:-

(1.)  In this process reduce the moisture of timber from naturally.

(2.)  It requires very low cost.

(3.)  It does not require skilled labour.

Disadvantage of natural seasoning:-

     (1.)  Its progress is very slow. So, take more time.

     (2.)  Lager space is required for this seasoning.

     (3.)  Moisture will not too reduce as required.

     (4.)  Insects and fungi attack is occur always.

Advantage of Artificial Seasoning:-

     (1.)  Moisture content will reach up to required level.

     (2.)  It is economical, because its drying process is very fast.

     (3.)  More suitable for painting.

     (4.)  Fungi and insects attack is less.
     
      (5.)Shrinkage, cracks and warping is minimum

      Disadvantage of Artificial Seasoning:-
    
     (1.)  Skilled supervision is required for artificial seasoning.

     (2.)  For this seasoning, high investment or involvement is required.
     
     (3.)  Its demand is low.

     Wooden Batten:-

     At construction site, during shuttering of beams,slabs , walls and other portion of structure wooden batten is required.The size of wooden timber, which is mostly used at construction site:-

     (1.)  2’’ x 3’’ x 8’

     (2.)  3’’ x 4’’ x 8’

     (3.)  2’’ x 3’’ x 10’

         Method of Sawing of Timber:-


     (a.)Tangential Sawing
    
     (b.) Radial Sawing

     (d.)Ordinary Sawing

     (e.) Quarter Sawing

       Benefits of Seasoning:-

As per condition of the log, the required size of the wooden specimen with minimum wastage will converted to timber. The benefits of seasoning is the advantage of seasoning, which is mentioned above.


Defects in timber:-

    (1.)  Attack by fungi

    (2.)  Attack by insects

    (3.)  Natural forces

    (4.)  Erroneous seasoning

(4.) Rind galls

(5.) Burls

(6.) Stain

(7.) Wind Cracks

(8.) Dead Wood

(9.) Twisted Fiber




Preservation of Timber:-

Preservation is required for timber for the protection from fungi, insects etc. The benefits of preservation are following:-

    (1.)  After preservation timber will durable.

   (2.)  After preservation timber will good looking.

Note:-

    (1.)  Timber of teak is not required for preservation.

    (2.)  Medular rings are a thin circular ring from pith towards the bark. 

    (3.)  Bark is an outermost protection of cells.

    (4.)  Cambium layer is an outermost ring between bark and sapwood.

    (5.)  Heart wood is an innermost ring that’s surrounding the pith.

   (6.)  The ring of wooden fiber concentric circle around the pith is known as annular rings. Because annual ring is made in only one in a one year.

    (7.)  Sap wood is outer annual rings of the tree that transmit the sap from route to branch.

The word sewerage is made from sewer. The word sewer indicates the usable water which is received from kitchen, bathroom and outfall from toilet/W.C. Every large or small city was held at sea, river and lake and it was planned at initial stage of the project planning, that the dirty water of homes and industries was dumped in that water source easily. Many years passed the dirty water from these utilities are dumped in the nearest source and that source water was make too poisons. Many aquatic life is survive in water and when dirty water is mixed with water source the biological cycle was affected and fishes and other animals population was decreases. Image Source:Pexels.com In that case population of human is also increases continuously and after that level of water source was decreases and we faced many problems continuously. Then sewer network is introduced. Outlet from all homes are connected to lateral lines means the water of kitchen, bathroom and water closet are co
