framed structureor frame structureStructure supported mainly by a skeleton, or frame, of wood, steel, or reinforced concrete rather than by load-bearing walls. Rigid frames have fixed joints that enable the frames to resist lateral forces; other frames require diagonal bracing or shear walls and diaphragms for lateral stability. Heavy timber framing was the most common type of construction in East Asia and northern Europe from prehistoric times to the mid-19th century. It was supplanted by the balloon frame and the platform frame (see light-frame construction). Steel's strength, when used in steel framing, made possible buildings with longer spans. Concrete frames impart greater rigidity and continuity; various advancements, such as the introduction of the shear wall and slipforming, have made concrete a serious competitor with steel in high-rise structures.

Mr Tucker added: "Considerable time savings will be achieved thanks to the offsite production of the timber framed structure, which was designed and manufactured in Pinelog's specially equipped factory in Derbyshire. Doncaster-based Haslam, which also trades out of Gateshead's Team Valley, is currently using timber framed structures at part of its Moorfield development in Darlington, East Shore Village in Seaham and Westbury Court in Sherburn and part of its Mandale Park development in Thornaby. |
