Study on the Application of Oak in Wood Structure Building

Abstract

This paper studies the application of oak in wood structure building. Oak is a type of high-grade building timber. Due to its high density and high hardness, there was few equipment or tools to process oak in the past. Most of them were only used for burning or making charcoal, but they were not well developed. With the development of science and technology, there are no obstacles in processing tools and technology for oak, and oak has been widely used. At present, China is in the period of urbanization and rapid development of new rural construction. Oak structure has unique advantages in energy saving and environmental protection, earthquake resistance and fire prevention, and housing industrialization. However, at present, the available oak resources are relatively few and the price is relatively high. The imported oak is mostly used in interior decoration, cask and other fields with less material in our country. The development of oak wood structure building still needs to make a lot of efforts. Based on the principle of sustainable utilization, we should develop and plant high-quality oak varieties that can be applied to wood structure, improve yield, realize self-sufficiency and reduce cost. At the same time, the government should vigorously promote the relevant policies of oak wood structure building construction, encourage design units and enterprises to actively participate in the design and construction of oak wood structure building, combine oak wood structure with other building materials, reduce the comprehensive construction cost, and improve the standards and specifications of oak wood structure design, construction and maintenance, so as to promote the better application of oak wood in wood structure building.
