About
The assessment of timber frame assemblies explores the evolution of assembly techniques in wooden structures, contrasting traditional designs with modern approaches. Traditionally, carpenters relied on handcrafted methods requiring specialized skills to fit and stabilize structures optimally. Today, innovations in materials and manufacturing technologies enable more efficient, material-saving, and eco-friendly assemblies. This study delves into the benefits of new materials, such as engineered wood, and prefabrication techniques, which ease on-site assembly while enhancing the precision and durability of constructions.
