Wood Wood has been an important construction material since humans began building shelters and houses; it’s an easier material, more practical to carry and work than other natural materials. This could be used in all of the structure except in foundations; it is very lightweight and moderately strong in compression and tension.

It has different system of construction, but the principal one is a solid system called log construction, employed only when primitive cutting tools are available, and the skeletal system that requires precise cutting and shaping of lumber.

This material has been used in the entire world but the history of wood construction begins in China, Korea and Japan principally, and it continues to be used in different techniques and systems, according to the design or the structural demands
