Synopsis

A practical guide to timber design and structural details for builders and engineers.

This reference compiles methods, standards, and calculations used in timber construction, focusing on safe, economical design of beams, columns, and joints. It covers working stresses, unit-stresses, and the factors that influence how timber behaves under load, along with how codes shape allowable practices. The book also discusses connectors, hangers, stringers, and practical details that appear in real-world structures, helping readers apply traditional methods to modern work.

Readers will gain a clear, applied understanding of how to approach timber design in everyday projects. It emphasizes practical decision making, inspection considerations, and the use of established handbooks and tables to support safe, durable construction.

• How working unit-stresses are determined and applied to timber members
• Design of beams, joints, and connections, including hangers and spacers
• Reference handbooks and standard tables used by engineers and builders
• considerations around building codes and material selection for real structures

Ideal for readers of engineering and construction who want a solid, hands-on resource for timber design and detailing.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
