Structural engineering is the reason we have so many wonderful buildings that have stood the test of time. This discipline is responsible for understanding a building’s strength and stability, and how it will react to its environment and other external stimuli.
Throughout the centuries of building structures, engineers have worked with various materials, from adobe bricks to steel beams, but one material has proved to be particularly advantageous for many projects: wood. Specifically, wood framing is one of the most popular materials used to frame projects such as homes, small commercial developments and multi-family units.
