| description | Wood structures have been used in North America since prehistoric times. Only after the arrival of the first European settlers, the light frame structure system was developed in this part of the continent. This paper presents a series of ideas about the best ways to make more adequate use of wood characteristics and about the necessary processes to obtain successful designs. The three main rules for achieving maximum performance in the use of wood in structures are: 1) Use dry wood, 2) keep it dry and 3) treat the wood with a suitable preservative to protect it from destructive organisms. Architectural examples of wood buildings in Canada are provided and these give an idea of the great variety of solutions available to architects, the flexibility of the proposed systems and their adaptability with respect to a wide variety of situations and types of construction. |

Light-frame structures wood in service timber structure protection preservative treatments Estructuras ligeras de madera madera en servicio protección de las estructuras de madera tratamientos de preservación Wood structures have been used in North America since prehistoric times. Only after the arrival of the first European settlers, the light frame structure system was developed in this part of the continent. This paper presents a series of ideas about the best ways to make more adequate use of wood characteristics and about the necessary processes to obtain successful designs. The three main rules for achieving maximum performance in the use of wood in structures are: 1) Use dry wood, 2) keep it dry and 3) treat the wood with a suitable preservative to protect it from destructive organisms. Architectural examples of wood buildings in Canada are provided and these give an idea of the great variety of solutions available to architects, the flexibility of the proposed systems and their adaptability with respect to a wide variety of situations and types of construction. Las estructuras de madera se han usado en América del Norte desde tiempos remotos. Después de la llegada de los primeros inmigrantes europeos se desarrolló en esta parte del continente el sistema de construcción a base de bastidores ligeros. El tema central del artículo es exponer una serie de ideas acerca de las mejores formas de aprovechar las características y procesos de la madera para lograr diseños exitosos. Las tres reglas principales para obtener el mejor comportamiento de la madera en estructuras son: 1) Usar madera seca; 2) mantenerla seca y 3) tratarla con un preservador adecuado cuando la madera pueda estar expuesta al ataque de organismos. El artículo está ilustrado con varios ejemplos arquitectónicos de estructuras de madera en Canadá los cuáles dan una idea de la gran variedad de soluciones disponibles para el arquitecto, la flexibilidad del sistema y su adaptabilidad a diversas situaciones y contextos.
