This volume presents a history of heavy timber construction (HTC)
in the United States, chronicling nearly two centuries of building
history, from inception to a detailed evaluation of one of the best
surviving examples of the type, with an emphasis on fire
resistance. The book does not limit itself in scope to serving only
as a common history. Rather, it provides critical analysis of HTC
in terms of construction methods, design, technical specifications,
and historical performance under fire conditions. As such, this
book provides readers with a truly comprehensive understanding and
exploration of heavy timber construction in the United States and
its performance under fire conditions.
