"Structural Timber Design" is a comprehensive textbook which provides HND and undergraduate students of building and civil engineering courses with a wealth of information and in-depth guidance on design methods to the recently revised BS 5268: Part 2 and the proposed Eurocode 5. It is also an invaluable reference source and design aid for practising engineers. The book provides a step-by-step approach to the design of all the most commonly used timber elements and connections, illustrated by detailed worked examples, and encourages the sue of computers to carry out design calculations. It covers the characteristics of timber; a review of BS 5268: Part 2 and its requirements; the design of beams and columns of solid, glued laminated and composite sections and of mechanical and glued timber connections. The book also reviews the proposed Eurocode 5 and its limit stated requirements, including the design of flexural and axially loaded members and connections.
