Timber Trusses
- What is the problem ?
 Timber Construction – What is the problem?

• Timber availability is reducing

Example : Production of Logs in Malaysia*

1990 1991 1992 1993 1994 1995 1996 1997 1998

‘000m3 12,918 12,285 13,031 11,234 11,389 9,030 8,418 7,379 5,100

• Increased environmental pressure on government not to cut down any more

trees
 Timber Construction – What is the problem?

• Timber is flammable
• Quality and supply is inconsistent
• High wastage
• Timber is subject to attacks by insects
– Many chemicals to prevent this are
extremely dangerous and have been banned
in some countries
– Insects can reduce the life span of the
building substantially and provide a hazard
for the occupants
– Substantially reduces the life of timber
• No guaranteed performance
Welded Mild Steel Trusses
- What is the problem ?
Heavy Steel Sections – difficult to handle ?
Requires painting – does it give adequate corrosion protection ?
Welding is required – are the workers skilled enough ?
What about quality control – does it exist ?
Wastage – who pays for this hidden cost ?
Slow installation & construction,
- is performance guaranteed ?
