TIMBER FRAME CONSTRUCTION - EXTERNAL WALLS
Cladding Systems
INTRODUCTION
Today in my assignment I will be talking to you about Timber Frame Construction and its Cladding Systems. I will go on to mention its current position, what a Cladding is, I will also give a brief summary of the characteristics of different types of claddings. Also a diagram will be presented will labels of a cladding system fastened onto a timber framed building.
1.0 TIMBER FRAME CONSTURCTION IN THE UK
In the UK, Timber frame construction is based on factory made structural elements. The timber framed wall panels take the loads on the building to the foundations whilst the outer cladding provides embellishment and weather protection. Now depending on what cladding is to be used is totally up to the client/builder/architect as it is a matter of choice; it can be brick, stone or lightweight claddings, such as timber boarding, tile hanging or render.

3.0 IDEAL WALL CLADDINGS
The best wall systems are highly resistant to water, wind, mechanical damage, and vermin entry. They are reasonably priced, easy to install, and low maintenance, have great cosmetic appeal, and provide good security. They also provide thermal insulation and have a long life expectancy. Most sidings do only some of these things well. There are no perfect siding materials.

Siding comes in thousands of different colors, sizes and textures. These materials come from all over the world and are used all over the world. One of the most common types of siding in the United States is basic vinyl siding. Siding is available in different grades like any product. You can buy name brand or a run-off that all differ greatly in quality. There is a specific way to lie siding to make it both look good and last in all types of weather.
If you are a homeowner, you may be aware that not all walls are built alike. If you have ever observed the building process, you are even more likely to be aware of this fact. A growing trend in the construction industry is to build with “sandwich walls.” You might even find that your current or future home was constructed with this kind of wall.

Roman arch is built as a semi-circle so that each brick rests on its neighbours and thus to stabilize the bow and lay off her other

In many of the chapters with the walls, we learn that what is shown, doesn’t have any real meaning. We learn that the purpose of the walls are mostly to distract civilians from thinking in order to protect their fragmented society.
China had developed a tradition of timber-frame architecture likely since the Han Dynasty. Unfortunately, due to the erosion of the woods and the destruction of fire, wooden structures rarely survive for hundreds of years. Even worse, with the modernizing movements from the early 20th century, the removal of what's feudal and superstitious was prevalent, harming the preservation of architecture. There is not any surviving timber-frame architecture prior to the Tang Dynasty still standing today. Yet, tombs, murals and stone structures do endure the test of time.

Metal stilts, timber slits and concrete stilts are strategically applied in different sheds according to the particular design based on various function. In addition, stilts are not only used as a supportive structure of the sheds, but they also highlight the vertically in reference with the surround trees and blends in to the site. These vertical stilts help in enhancing the visual adaption by camouflaging the sheds within the forest.
Type V buildings are known as wood frame construction. To break Type V constructions to the basics, they are constructed of lightweight materials to save the contractor money. This type of construction is the most dangerous to firefighter due to the lightweight, cost effective materials used. Some of the wood frame buildings are Log cabins, Post and frame, Balloon Frame, platform frame, plank and beam, and truss frame.
Yet the general application of the wall has been used primarily to either wall something out, or to keep something walled in. The earliest walls were made with a human skill called stone masonry which is the skilled stacking of stones to form a cohesive structure. Walls as just a singular structure and not to be considered as part of an enclosed building with a roof, is a general subject that changes details from area to area. Walls the keep things in have generally been used as a way to border up local activities within a certain amount of space. Some more obvious examples of walls as barriers to keep things within the walls include; prisons, walled-in private communities, farm fences, and other examples where people want to maintain their own private space. Walls that can do the exact opposite of keeping substance inside are meant to be obstructions that keep other things outside from a space. National and private borders are an example of walling out unwanted factors. Security fences, walls as defensive locations, and walls simply placed for the sole purpose of obstruction are effective obstacles that humans have been building for centuries.
In this article, we’ll be mainly going over wood species and materials in relation to outdoor furniture that is often found in areas such as your porch, garden, or patio. Each of the wood species has its pros and cons so when deciding on furniture having an open mind is the best bet to finding something that suits you perfectly. Let’s jump right to it.

The book as a description of modern architecture, its styles and influence succeeds but falls short as a prescriptive methodology. His work is still recalled for the need by modernists to categorize everything into neat little boxes, not necessarily for the sake of uniformity, but for sake of some ambiguity. The ambiguity may be the triumph of this book as post modern architecture era is supposed to create more questions than the answers.
The framing process is probably the fastest part of building a house. A good framing crew can frame an average size house in just a couple of days. The framing of the house consists of the floor system, walls, and roof system. The framing is th...
