Description for Emergent Timber Technologies: Materials, Structures, Engineering, Projects
Hardback. The "old" material of wood has been used to construct dwellings of different types since the dawn of mankind. This book documents the various recent developments in timber technologies, in particular the engineering bonding techniques, the introduction of digital production techniques, and the innovative material developments of this material. Editor(s): Hascher, Rainer. Num Pages: 176 pages, 176 p., approx. 220 colour, 30 b/w ills. and 70 line drawings. BIC Classification: AMC; TNK. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 280 x 220. Weight in Grams: 1007.
The old material of wood has been used to construct dwellings of different types since the dawn of mankind. And not without reason. Its low density combined with high rigidity, good processability, and its resistance makes it an excellent building material. There is currently a pioneering renaissance of the timber construction, for two distinct reasons: first, wood is increasingly being rediscovered as one of the most important renewable raw materials for sustainable construction. Moreover, a revolution in the construction of timber structures began several years ago with the ever-progressive use of three-dimensional CAD models for digitally controlled ... Read more
