I knew a guy who framed every wall with a double sill plate so he didn't need to find studs while installing baseboard. I'm not saying it's a reasonable solution, but every time I'm installing baseboard, I wish he had framed the wall.

The Chairman posted:When you bend a beam, it forms an arc shape, such that it's in compression (crushed) at the top and tension (stretched) at the bottom. The material at the very center of the beam doesn't deform in bending, so it's not carrying any load. The further away the material is from the center, the more it contributes to resisting bending. I'm not much up on wood and civil engineering stuff in general, but I'd imagine that there's a large factor in that the cost of finding a natural material in larger sizes isn't something that scales nicely. With stuff like steel, in general you pay for the mass of it, so if you use two tonnes of material, well, that's probably going to cost twice as much as one. You don't have to "find" a nice big RSJ, you just make it. With wood, if you want a long beam of large section, you'll have had to grow and manage a tree able to provide that, and it's disproportionately more involved than getting two lengths of much smaller cross-section and some manufactured sheet to act as the centre web. Someone correct me if I'm completely off target here.

Yeah that reminds me of when I was a pup and I put a nail through the baseboard and into a copper line for the terlet on a new home. Nail sorta blocks the water but not until the house was carpeted did anyone notice Good times

bEatmstrJ posted:If you can wade through all the poo poo-posts, it's amazing what you can learn on this forum. At the same dimensions the solid piece would be stronger. It's all about creating the required strength with much less material. Notching solid beams, I assume, would have reduced the structural strength to a beam with that new cross section all the way through, maybe less with the stress centers you created at the notch.

For safety, I would definitely assume that the whole thing takes on the cross section at the notch, but there's still added weight.

If nothing else this thread has delivered immensely for me because someone else just linked me to it and I actually got to say the words "oh I've seen that, I had to ban someone for doxing a bathroom."

Adiabatic posted:At the same dimensions the solid piece would be stronger. It's all about creating the required strength with much less material. Depends on where the notch is and what shape it is. You can drill out a pretty significant area out of the middle of the beam (for passing pipes and conduit through, etc) without reducing the bending capacity much, as long as it's not near a point load source like a column sitting on it or a support.

If you look in the picture he didn't drill out the middle of the beam for his plumbing. He cut holes in the bottom of the webbing.
