Ntxiv rau kev siv cov cav ntoo ncaj qha, ntoo tau ua tiav rau hauv board square ntoo lossis lwm yam khoom siv. Txhawm rau txo qhov deformation thiab tawg ntawm cov ntoo hauv kev siv, cov ntoo square feem ntau yuav tsum tau qhuav lawm los yog artificially. Natural drying yog huab cua ziab ntawm pawg ntoo. Artificial drying tsuas yog siv txoj kev ziab kom qhuav, thiab kev ci yooj yim thiab ci tuaj yeem siv tau. Lub tshuab ziab khaub ncaws yog lub tshuab ziab khaub ncaws uas nruab nrog cov khoom siv cua tshuab los tswj thiab tswj qhov kub thiab av noo ntawm huab cua. Cov ntoo qhuav los ntawm qhov ziab ziab yog qhov zoo, thiab cov ntsiab lus noo noo tuaj yeem ncav cuag tsawg dua 10%. Ntoo uas yuav lwj nyob rau hauv kev siv yuav tsum tau preservatively kho ua ntej. Cov txheej txheem ntawm gluing tuaj yeem nplaum lub rooj tsavxwm rau hauv cov khoom loj, uas yog siv rau cov qauv ntoo, pawg ntoo, thiab lwm yam. Ntoo tuaj yeem ua tiav rau hauv plywood, chipwood, fiberboard, thiab lwm yam.
Hauv cov tsev qub qub, ntoo tau siv dav hauv cov tuam tsev, palaces, cov tuam tsev thiab cov tsev ntiag tug. Ntawm cov vaj tse qub qub nyob hauv Suav teb, cov nto moo tshaj plaws yog Lub Tuam Tsev East Hall ntawm Foguang ntawm Wutai Roob hauv Shanxi Xeev, ua rau xyoo 857 AD, thiab lub Pagoda Ntoo hauv Yingxian County, Shanxi Province, ua rau xyoo 1056 AD, nrog qhov siab ntawm 6 7,31m. Nyob rau hauv niaj hnub civil engineering, ntoo yog tsuas yog siv nyob rau hauv lub tsev ntoo, ntoo choj, formwork, hluav taws xob ncej, pw tsaug zog, qhov rooj thiab qhov rais, rooj tog, tsev kho kom zoo nkauj, thiab lwm yam.
