Beschreibung
Timber construction is one of the most prevalent methods ofconstructing buildings in North America and an increasinglysignificant method of construction in Europe and the rest of theworld. Timber Engineering deals not only with the structuralaspects of timber construction, structural components, joints andsystems based on solid timber and engineered wood products, butalso material behaviour and properties on a wood element level.Produced by internationally renowned experts in the field, thisbook represents the state of the art in research on theunderstanding of the material behaviour of solid wood andengineered wood products.
There is no comparable compendium currently available on thetopic - the subjects represented include the most recent phenomenaof timber engineering and the newest development ofpractice-related research. Grouped into three different sections,'Basic properties of wood-based structural elements', 'Designaspects on timber structures' and 'Joints and structuralassemblies', this book focuses on key issues in the understandingof:
* timber as a modern engineered construction material withcontrolled and documented properties
* the background for design of structural systems based on timberand engineered wood products
* the background for structural design of joints in structuraltimber systems
Furthermore, this invaluable book contains advanced teachingmaterial for all technical schools and universities involved intimber engineering. It also provides an essential resource fortimber engineering students and researchers, as well as practicingstructural and civil engineers.
