This construction engineering element is termed "blocking" in North America. There's a full treatment at Blocking_(construction) into which the unique content here -- particularly the regional terminology -- should be merged. Gbuchana (talk) 21:10, 17 October 2011 (UTC)


 * Added blocking here as another regional term. The subject seems better covered under dwangs than in blocking.  The blocking article is somewhat misleading; noggins exist primarily to prevent Euler's bending moment on the studs in compression and have only a secondary function as grounds for fixings, as dwang states.  The photograph is a little misleading too because it clearly shows not a requirement for noggings but a requirement to provide grounds for fixings.  The dimensions and nailing requirements in blocking are presumeably specific to some US or Canadian building codes that are not necessarily applicable elsewhere and should probably be left out.  Not sure what the material in blocking about cargo refers to in construction.  As there is not any new material in blocking I suggest it diverts to here.

They are called nogs in New Zealand as referenced by government documents and industry specifications (eg "to be fixed to solid timber nogs"). The reference I have used says the same for Scotland however I was not sure. -Buzzinowt (talk) 04:02, 1 January 2012 (UTC)
 * It's the same. I am a Kiwi and live in Australia, I think a nog refers to just one item but a collection of nogs in a wall is nogging, like a pleat and pleating.  Same usage in NZ and Oz.  E x nihil  (talk) 10:05, 5 January 2012 (UTC)
