Itis a natural construction material , that its easy to work with, to acquire and to transport. Wood • Pros : • It is strong in compression and tension because of its organic structure. • It can be used in both solid and skeletal structures. • Cons: • It is susceptibility to fire, mold, and termites. • is not uniformly strong, so • it must be carefully selected and • seasoned to prevent warping, splitting, • and failure under load. skeletal system: requires precise cutting and shaping of lumber. It provides a rigid framework of jointed or nailed members independent of the walls, which are attached to the exterior and interior surfaces after completion.
