OBS

assemblage : Action, manière de réunir différentes pièces [de bois] préalablement ajustées pour qu'elles forment un ensemble rigide; résultat de cette action.

OBS

Le collage, grâce aux colles modernes résistant à l'eau et à l'humidité, est un nouveau mode d'assemblage très utilisé aussi bien en menuiserie qu'en charpente. En menuiserie, il sert au renforcement d'assemblages de type traditionnel, soit dans l'aboutage, ou jointage bout à bout des pièces (entures multiples ou joint Scarf réalisés au moyen de machines spéciales). En charpente, il a connu un nouvel essor avec l'apparition de la charpente lamellée collée (...)

OBS

(...) on appelle joint la surface où se touchent les éléments d'un assemblage; ou bien l'emplacement où ils s'articulent et parfois, par extension, cette articulation.
