This document discusses conventional construction materials, focusing on timber. It defines timber as wood suitable for construction purposes and notes it can be seasoned and preserved before use. Timber is classified as either hard wood from deciduous broad-leaf trees like teak, sal, and shisham, or soft wood from coniferous needle-leaf trees like deodar, pine, and kail. The document provides an introduction to additive construction methods using concrete but focuses most on describing timber and how it is classified.

• Conventional constructions:
• Masonry,
• Timber,
• Steel and
• Concrete Constructions (CC)
• Introduction to Additive Construction methods
using concrete (3D Printed Building)

3. TIMBER
• The wood suitable for construction of building
or for other engineering purposes is called
Timber.
• The wood may be seasoned and preserved
before using it in the construction work.
• It has been sawn to various market forms such
as beams, battens, planks.

4. Classification of Timber
• Hard Wood :- The trees yielding hard wood
