This
new resource covers the material selection, structural design and
connections detailing of truly sustainable timber building. Historically there has been an imbalance between the availability of
information on structural timber design and the much more widespread
familiarity with traditional structural materials such as steel and
concrete. This book aims to help redress the balance by presenting the
essential design principles involved in the creation of elegant,
user-friendly timber buildings that are practical, economic, and
thoroughly sustainable. Designed to support specialist study into the benefits of 21
st
Century timber engineering, this book also offers architects, engineers
and other construction professionals practical advice on all aspects of
modern timber architecture.
