This major reference manual covers both overall and detail design
of structural timber, including aspects such as shear deflection,
creep, dynamic and lateral stability considerations for flexural
members.
It has been substantially revised to take account of changes
since the last edition, nearly 20 years ago, and to include the
latest revision of British Standard BS 5268-2: 2002, which has
brought design concepts closer to European practice and Eurocode
5.
New features of the Third Edition include: revised information
on bolt values including a consideration of improved performance
using 8.8 grade boltsnew chapters on composite sections and
Eurocode 5 on structural timbernew developments in materials and
productshorizontal roof and floor diaphragmsvertical shear
walls
The manual continues to provide extensive tables and
coefficients that will save the practising engineer many design
hours. It will also be of interest as a reference for civil
engineering undergraduates and to timber manufacturers. Whilst the
design examples in the book are based on BS 5268, a large part of
the content will have international appeal, whatever code or
standard is being used.
From reviews of the last edition
"the complete design manual ... a 'must'"
-"Timber Trades Journal"
"the manual continues its established position as an
authoritative reference and in providing numerous time saving
design aids."
-"Institute of Wood Science Journal"
