Due to growing urbanization the building material such as concrete, steel and steel composite structures are used predominantly in many countries across the world. while considering the environment hazard due to carbon emission the introduction of wood as building material is used for structural specification even in case entire building structure is also build with the help of wood as its structural components. In this study the wood as a building material is to be considered in previous works that how the material behaves what are the factors to be considered for design is to be studied and finally conclude that if the wood is suitable for the building material for a structure.
