Theory of structures
A sub-area of mechanics that evaluates the interaction of components in a structure including loadbearing capacity and structural behaviour over time.

Thermal insulation regulations
Thermal insulation requirements are given in the Approved Documents to the Building Regulations (Technical Standards in Scotland) and are quoted in terms of U value for specific elements. Timber frame …...

Thermal performance
See U values.

Thermal resistivity
Thermal resistivity, termed r, is a measure of the resistance to heat flow of a unit thickness of a material. It is measured in mK/W. The greater the value of r, the greater the insulation provided.

Timber
The general term for wood once it has been processed from a log into a construction material.

Timber frame construction
A popular and growing method of building in which the structural elements typically comprise vertical timber studs at 450mm or 600mm centres faced with a wood-based panel such as KRONOPLY OSB or KRONOTEC MDF. ...

Transom
