board sheathing and a let-in corner brace. This type of construction was common In the past but for some years fell from popularity. However, the use of let-In corner bracing is again becoming more widespread where nonÂ­ structural insulation is being used for wall sheathing.

But there have been few evaluations of wall panels with let-in corner bracing since the 1940âs when the performance standard was developed. There are no well-defined reÂ­ quirements for lumber quality or workmanship.

Casting is a manufacturing process in which a liquid material is usually poured into a mold, which contains a hollow cavity of the desired shape, and then allowed to solidify. The solidified part is also known as a casting, which is ejected or broken out of the mold to complete the process. Casting materials are usually metals or various cold setting materials that cure after mixing two or more components together; examples are epoxy, concrete, plaster and clay. Casting is most often used for making complex shapes that would be otherwise difficult or uneconomical to make by other methods. Casting is a 6000-year-old process.
