Description for Timber Engineering
Hardcover. Economic to build, environmentally friendly, and versatile enough as a material to be used with reinforced concrete or steel, timber constructions are used worldwide. Timber Engineering examines its state of the art, covering the newest developments in practice-related research, while placing the industry in an international context. Editor(s): Thelandersson, Sven; Larsen, Hans J. Num Pages: 456 pages, index. BIC Classification: TNC; TNK. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly; (UU) Undergraduate; (XV) Technical / Manuals. Dimension: 249 x 194 x 30. Weight in Grams: 1028.
Timber construction is one of the most prevalent methods of constructing buildings in North America and an increasingly significant method of construction in Europe and the rest of the world. Timber Engineering deals not only with the structural aspects of timber construction, structural components, joints and systems based on solid timber and engineered wood products, but also material behaviour and properties on a wood element level. Produced by internationally renowned experts in the field, this book represents the state of the art in research on the understanding of the material behaviour of solid wood and engineered wood products.
