	Light Framing (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Light frame construction consists of joining load bearing framing members with sheathing to create building components such as floors, walls, and roofs, and specialized building systems such as shearwalls, diaphragms, load bearing walls, and permanent wood foundations.
		Framing members, in the form of studs, joists, and rafters, provide reinforcing and support for vertical and horizontal sheathing, and are the main load bearing members conducting forces to the supports.
		Framing entails the placement of light members at spacings of between 300 and 600mm (12" and 24") and in so doing creating a load sharing action whereby a below average member, through the rigidity of the sheathing, transfers excess load to an adjoining above average member.

	Alternative Framing Materials in Residential Construction: Three Case Studies (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		In four "demonstration" houses constructed using this material, the lower material and equipment costs associated with steel-framed interior and exterior walls brought its total cost to within 7 percent of the cost of wood framing even though the alternative system required 30 percent more labor to construct.
		In the construction of three "demonstration" houses using foam-core panels (foam material sandwiched by two facings, typically oriented strand board, waferboard, or plywood), the exterior walls actually required slightly less time per linear foot to construct than conventionally framed walls.
		But the roof constructed of foam-core panels took 50 percent longer and was nearly three times as expensive to build as a wood-framed roof.

	Framing (construction) - Education - Information - Educational Resources - Encyclopedia - Music
		Framing is a term used to describe the process of erecting a framed structure.
		The floors, walls and roof are typically made torsionally stable with the installation of a plywood or composite wood "skin" refered to as sheathing.
		Where the design calls for a framed floor, the resulting platform is where the framer will construct and stand that floor's walls (interior and exterior load bearing walls and space demising, non-load bearing "partitions").

	Home Tips: Wood Framing, Balloon Frame Construction, Platform Framing
		Most house built since the 1920s have wood-frame construction: a system of wooden wall studs, floor joists and other wooden members that provide structure and a framework for attaching finished surfaces.
		In most cases, even houses that appear to have brick or stone walls actually have wood frame construction beneath their masonry façade.
		Platform construction is much more common than balloon framing, though balloon framing was employed in many two-story houses before 1930.

	Post and Beam (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		In light framing construction, the framing serves as structure, as exterior sheathing and interior finish support, and as the insulation cavity.
		With post and beam construction, the columns and beams support vertical loads, intermediate framing is required to support exterior sheathing and interior finish and provide space for insulation, and diagonal bracing or other support is required to resist lateral loads.
		It is a method of construction which is more labour intensive than contemporary post and beam construction but which offers a finished appearance demonstrating wood construction and workmanship in an artistic form.
