Timber comes from wood obtained from trees and is suitable for construction and other purposes. There are two main types of trees - exogenous and endogenous - with exogenous trees like conifers and deciduous trees most suitable for engineering. Timber has a macro structure visible to the eye like the pith, heartwood, and sapwood, as well as a micro structure only visible at high magnifications. Seasoning removes sap from fresh timber to make it stronger, lighter, and more durable. Common seasoning methods include natural, kiln, chemical and water seasoning. Timber is used widely in construction and manufacturing and can be preserved from damage using treatments like tar, paints, and chemical salts.

A short lesson preparation for grade 10 civil technology learners, term 3. I like this subject already, while on the other side i am still studying to become a teacher on this field. Actually i like technology in broad.
This presentation will take you into a detailed tour on timber, it's processing and seasoning, also defects and preservation. Other than that, it also has information on timber flooring , though not too much detailed but enough for some basic knowledge. The video won't work i the slide as it's a hyperlink in my computer itself. Same will be the case with the button of 'More Pictures'.

CFD Simulation of By-pass Flow in a HRSG module by R&R Consult.pptxR&R Consult
CFD analysis is incredibly effective at solving mysteries and improving the performance of complex systems!
Here's a great example: At a large natural gas-fired power plant, where they use waste heat to generate steam and energy, they were puzzled that their boiler wasn't producing as much steam as expected.
R&R and Tetra Engineering Group Inc. were asked to solve the issue with reduced steam production.
An inspection had shown that a significant amount of hot flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes, where the heat was supposed to be transferred.
R&R Consult conducted a CFD analysis, which revealed that 6.3% of the flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes without transferring heat. The analysis also showed that the flue gas was instead being directed along the sides of the boiler and between the modules that were supposed to capture the heat. This was the cause of the reduced performance.
Based on our results, Tetra Engineering installed covering plates to reduce the bypass flow. This improved the boiler's performance and increased electricity production.
It is always satisfying when we can help solve complex challenges like this. Do your systems also need a check-up or optimization? Give us a call!
Work done in cooperation with James Malloy and David Moelling from Tetra Engineering.

4. TYPES OF TREES:
Trees are classified into two groups .
1. Endogenous trees:
The trees which grow inwards in longitudinal fibrous
mass are called endogenous trees.
5. 2. Exogenous tress :
The trees which grow in out wards across horizontal
section of stem are called exogenous trees. These
trees are only fit for engineering construction.
6. Exogenous trees are again subdivided in to two
types.
Conifers or Evergreen:
•They give soft wood.
•They have pointed leaves.
Examples:
Deodar
Pine
Chir
Kail,etc
7. Deciduous or Broad leaf Trees:
•These have hard wood.
•These have broad leaves.
Examples:
Teak
Sal
Shisham, etc.

9. Structure of tree:
From the visibility aspect, the structure of a tree can be
divided into two categories
1. Macro structure
2. Micro structure
10. 1. Macro structure:
The structure of wood visible to the naked
eye or at a small magnification is called
macro structure. The following figure
shows the macro structure of exogenous
tree.
11. (a) Pith: The innermost central portion or core of the tree
is called pith or medulla.
(b) Heart wood: The inner annual rings surrounding the
pith is known as heart wood.
(c) Sap wood: The cuter annual rings between heart
wood and cambium layer is known as sap wood.
(d) Cambium layer: Thin layer of sap between sap wood
and inner bark is known as cambium layer.
12. (e)Inner bark: The inner skin or layer covering the
cambium layer is known as inner bark.
(f) Outer Bark: The outer skin or cover of the tree is
known as outer bark.
(g) Medullary rays: The thin radial fibers extending
from pith to cambium layer are known as medullary
rays.
13. 2. Micro structure:
The structure of wood apparent only at great magnifications is
called micro structure.
•Conductive cells
•Mechanical cells
•Storage cells
14. Appearance: A freshly cut surface of timber should exhibit
hard and of shining appearance.
Color: A color should preferably be dark
Defects: A good timber should be free from series defects
such as knots, flaws, shakes etc
Durability: A good timber should be durable and capable of
resisting the action of fungi, insects, chemicals, physical
agencies, and mechanical agencies.
Characteristics of good timbers
15. Elasticity: The timber returns to its original shape when
load causing its deformation is removed.
Fire resistance: A dense wood offers good resistance to
fire.
Hardness: A good timber should be hard.
Mechanical wear: A good timber should not
deteriorate easily due to mechanical wear or abrasion.
16. Shape: A good timber should be capable of retaining its
shape during conversion or seasoning
Smell: A good timber should have sweet smell.
Unpleasant smell indicates decayed timber
Sound: A good timber should give a clear ringing sound
when struck
Strength: A good timber should be sufficiently strong for
working as structural member such as joist, beam, rafter
etc.
17. Structure: The structure should be uniform.
Toughness: A good timber should be tough (i.e.) capable
of offering resistance to shocks due to vibration.
Water permeability: A good timber should have low
water permeability, which is measured by the quantity
of water filtered through unit surface area of specimen
of wood.
18. Weight: The timber with heavy weight is considered to
be sound and strong.
Working conditions: Timber should be easily workable. It
should not clog the teeth of saw.
19. SEASONING OF TIMBER:
As fresh timber which is obtained from trees contains
about 30 to 40 % sap or moisture. This sap is very
harmful for the life of a timber. Therefore, it is necessary
to remove that sap by applying some special methods.
All those methods which are used for removing the sap
from timber are collectively termed as seasoning of
timber.
20. Advantages of seasoned timber:
o It has reduced weight,
o It is strong and durable,
o It has resistance to decay or rot,
o It takes high polish,
o It is easier to work,
o Its life is more.
21. Types of Timber Seasoning:
The main types of timber seasoning are as under.
(1)Natural Seasoning
(2)Artificial Seasoning
(a)Kiln Seasoning, (b) Chemical Seasoning,
(c) Electric Seasoning,
&
(3) Water Seasoning
22. (1)Natural Seasoning:
In the air seasoning or natural seasoning or natural
drying, seasoning of timber, timber is dried by direct
action of air, wind and sun. In this method, the timber
logs are arranged one over the other, keeping some
space or distance between them for air circulation of
fresh air. Generally this type of seasoning requires few
months to over a year, this is very slow process.
24. (a) Kiln Seasoning:
In kiln seasoning timber is placed in a chamber with
some special heating arrangement. In this process
one thing should be kept in mind that heating system
should be under control, other wise timber will be
crack or wrap . The time required for this seasoning is
3 to 12 days. This is quick process.
25. (b) Chemical Seasoning:
In chemical seasoning carbon dioxide, ammonium
carbonate or urea are used as agents for seasoning,
those are applied in dry state, the inter surface of
timber dries first than outer side. This ensures uniform
seasoning. The time required for this seasoning is 30 to
40 days.
26. (c) Electric Seasoning:
In this method electric current is passed through the
timber logs. The time required for this seasoning is 05 to
08 hours.
27. (3) Water Seasoning:
In water seasoning, timber logs are kept immersed
whole in the flowing water. The sap present in timber is
washed away. After that logs are taken out from water
and are kept in open air, so water present in timber
would be dried by air. The time required for this type of
seasoning is 2 to 4 weeks.
28. USES OF TIMEBR:
Timber is used in:
1.Building construction,
2.Construction of house posts,
3.Construction of beams,
4.Construction of rafters,
5.Construction of bridges,
6.Construction of piles, poles and railway sleepers,
Continued--------
29. 6.For furniture making.
7.For light packing cases,
8.For high packing cases (for machinery and similar
stores),
9.For manufacturing of agricultural implements,
10.For making toys, etc,
11.For manufacturing of veneers and ply woods.
30. DEFECTS IN TIMBER:
Most common defects in timber are:
•Heart Shakes
•Star Shakes
•Cup Shakes
•Radial Shakes
•Rind Galls
•Wind Cracks
•Knots
•Dead Wood
31. (1) Heart Shakes:
These are splits occurring in the centre of the tree and
running from the pith (inner most part) to wards the sap
wood from the medullary (vascular tissues) rays. In
some timbers, these splits are hardly visible and in some
timbers these are quite permanent. Heart shakes are
caused due to shrinkage of interior parts due to age. A
heart shake straight across the trunk is not a serious
defect.
32. (2) Star Shakes:
These are splits which radiate from the centre of the
timber or from the bark (outer side), running in the
planes of medullary rays. These occur due to severe
frost or scorching heat of the sun.
33. (3) Cup Shakes:
These are curved splits which separate the whole or
part of one annual ring from an other. These are
caused due to the unequal growth of the timber.
34. (4) Radial Shakes:
These are similar to the star shakes and occur in felled
timber when exposed to the sun during seasoning.
Radial shakes are generally irregular, fine and numerous.
In this many splits are appeared.
35. (5) Rind Galls:
These are typical enlarged swellings and occur
due to branches cut-off.
36. (6) Wind Cracks:
These are shakes or splits on the sides of a bark of
timber due to shrinkage of exterior surface exposed to
atmospheric influence.
37. (7) Knots:
These are the roots of the small branches of the tree.
These are not harmful.
38. (8) Dead Wood:
It is the deficient in strength and weight and is the result
of trees being felled after maturity.
39. Preservation of Timber
It means protecting from fungi and insects attack so that
its life is increased. The following are the widely used:
1. Tar
2. Paints
3. Chemical salt
4. Creosote
5. ASCU
40. 1.Tar Treatment:
Hot coal tar is applied to timber with brush. The
coating of tar protects the timber from the attack of
fungi and insects. It is a cheapest way of protecting
timber.
Main disadvantage
Appearance is not good after tar is applied
41. 2. Paints Treatment:
Two to three coats of oil paints are applied on clean
surface of wood. The paint protects the timber from
moisture. The paint is to be applied from time to time.
Paint improves the appearance of the timber.
•Solignum paint is a special paint which protects the
timber.
42. 3. Chemical salt Treatment:
These are the preservatives made by dissolving salts in
water. The salts used are copper sulphate, masonry
chloride, zinc chloride and sodium fluoride. After
treating the timber with these chemical salt paints and
varnishes can be applied to get good appearance.
43. 4. Creosote oil treatment:
Creosote oil is obtained by distillation of coal tar. The
seasoned timber is kept in an air tight chamber and air
is exhausted. Then creosote oil is pumped into the
chamber at a pressure of 0.8 to 1.0 N/mm2 at a
temperature of 50°C. After 1 to 2 hours timber is taken
out of the chamber.
44. 5. ASCO Treatment:
This preservative is developed by the Forest Research
Institute, Dehradun. It consists of 1 part by weight of
hydrated arsenic pent-oxide (As2O5, 2 H2O), 3 parts by
weight of copper sulphate(CuSO4⋅5 H2O) and 4 parts by
weight of potassium dichromate (K2Cr2O7) or sodium
dichromate (Na2Cr2O7⋅2 H2O). This preservative is
available in powder form. By mixing six parts of this
powder with 100 parts of water, the solution is prepared.
The solution is then sprayed over the surface of timber.
This treatment prevents attack from termites. The surface
may be painted to get desired appearance.
