Book Description,
As a natural material, timber is unique, innovative and easy to handle.
It is sustainable,environmentally friendly, can be readily recycled, and as sawn sections or qualitycontrolledengineered products, timber has a large potential market for use as a structural and building material. However, the existing civil and structural engineering curricula neglect, to a large extent, the importance of timber as a viable engineering material and as a consequence relatively few textbooks provide information on the design of timber structures. Also, most books have tended to concentrate on designs in accordance with BS 5268, a permissible stress-based design, with limited information on designs to Eurocode 5, which is based on a limit states design philosophy.
