Offer advantages – easy workability + aesthetic appeal + resistance to shocks / vibrations

M’sian usage limited to:- low cost construction- temporary structures- squatters / villages houses- concealed works / formworks
![Page 6: Lect1 material timber_edit-paklan](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081514/5562db40d8b42aac778b4eee/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Timber less popular in M’sia Due to prejudice, bad
workmanship, poor detailing.
Difficult to get popular species / higher cost than other materials
Present, Uniform Bldg Bye-Laws (UBBL) classify timber as temporary structures
Insurance companies not willing to insure against fire / premium very high
Difficult to get bank loan
![Page 7: Lect1 material timber_edit-paklan](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081514/5562db40d8b42aac778b4eee/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Timber more popular in West Usage in Europe /
N.America / Australia- large + prestigious structures- appreciate timber as bldg materials
Good workmanship / skill

More advanced in timber technology glued laminated beams plywood box beam

Availability + Cost M’sia still has plenty of
timber But only few species
popular – cengal, keruing, meranti
Most timber for export Difficult to get popular
species / higher cost than other materials
Govt, through M’sian Timber Industry Board to encourage other species

Current situation Timber production geared towards export Only leftovers for local Prejudice towards timber – results in less
popular in urban areas Present, Uniform Bldg Bye-Laws (UBBL)
classify timber as temporary structures Insurance companies not willing to insure /
premium very high Difficult to get bank loan

TIMBER AS STRUCTURAL
MATERIAL
![Page 12: Lect1 material timber_edit-paklan](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081514/5562db40d8b42aac778b4eee/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Structural Favourable strength to weight ratio “Bending strength” between 1/28 to 1/23
compared to mild steel “Stiffness” is low but compared to its weight, it is
relatively “stiff” (Extra structural members to compensate lack of stiffness will not greatly increase total weight)
Suitable for light to medium loaded low-rise building
![Page 13: Lect1 material timber_edit-paklan](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081514/5562db40d8b42aac778b4eee/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Strength Characteristics Strength characteristics indicate ability to
withstand load & potential as engineering an material
Malaysian timber categories into 7 groups:- SG1 to SG7- SG1 the strongest, SG7 the weakest

Fire resistance Combustible material
(thin boards easily burnt)
Large size more than 150mm have higher resistance to fire
Smaller sections can be protected with plasterboard, asbestos or fire retardant treatment

Advantages of Timber Environmentally
friendly material Good appearance,
aesthetic appeal Low weight to
strength ratio Light, easy to handle,
easily joined Suitable for
prefabrication of components (reduce amount of site work)
![Page 17: Lect1 material timber_edit-paklan](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081514/5562db40d8b42aac778b4eee/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Dry construction, faster completion period
Good sound, thermal and electrical insulation property
Capacity to withstand shock / vibration

Disadvantages Subjected to rot – dry
rot / wet rot Is a combustible
material Being a living
material, it is subjected to attack by insects / termite
