Abstract
The investigations and analyses reported herein sought the identification on a comparative basis of those combinations of framing, sheathing and finishing materials, and assembly methods—accepted in current practice or recently developed—which promote conservation in the use of lumber and economy in man-hours in the construction of walls, floors, and roofs of single-family dwellings. The purpose was to provide architects, engineers, and builders with comparative technical and cost data as a guide for making sound judgments, in selecting wood structural systems, components, and elements for dwelling design and construction, that would permit full advantage to be taken of the physical properties of materials without waste and that would promote efficiency in assembly.
