Before the utilization of the wood light frame system, severe building
was built of heavy timbers, masonry wall. Balloon frame and platform frame are included
light-frame construction. Balloon frame is composed thin, closely spaced,
vertical wood components and roof components. The connection between members
were made simple nail. Additionally, moving the timber, measuring, cutting with
saw and composed the whole members are not need skillfulness. Balloon framing
constructed an all side studs which run continuously from top to bottom of a
building. This means people use continuous wood for all floor and this studs
expensive than other short wood. For this reason, build high rise building with
balloon frame is nearly impossible. Moreover; erected a frame is need a lot of
man work. In addition, in slabs that constructed with balloon frame method
there are some gaps. These gaps allow the passing of voice and air between the
floors. These voice cause of the voice pollution and disturb the other people
who are dwell other floor of home. Additionally, transition of air hinders the
isolation. This event cause to increased energy utilization, hence higher
costs. Additionally, the long framing components utilized in construction
rises construction costs. Moreover; more
labor, skill and specialized equipment is required to lift these walls. It
uses long continuous framing members (studs) that run from the sill plate to the
top plate, with intermediate floor structures let into and nailed to them.
People use currently most common method of light-frame construction
for houses in
small commercial buildings is platform
framing. In balloon frame, whole frame constructed united piece of
frame. However, platform frame constructed floor by floor. That’s means every
floor unique piece of whole homes. The technique involved also makes it a
quicker method of construction. In the platform frame the subfloor at the first-floor
level is concluded later than laying of floor juncture at that level. This
subfloor supply a platform for workers to stand on. Additionally, smaller
pieces of wood can be used on the wall frames. Platform frame augment the
safety of the workers because they could utilize the floor platform as the
scaffold for constructing the subsequent floor. In addition, it became possible
to build structures with more than two stories. The technique also requires
less labor. With the balloon frame, practical height restriction of the
building was two stories because studs longer than two stories were easily
available. Platform framing utilizes less wood. This helps to keep construction
costs within reasonable limits. No fire stopping is necessary because the
stud spaces are enclosed by the floor platforms. In platform frame, between the floors there are platform and it provide
isolation both air and sound.
