Highly illustrated with drawings, graphs and sizing tables, enabling designers to make the most efficient choices. In the early stages of a new project designers must find answers to many questions. What should the structure be made from? Where should columns or walls be located? Is it a framed building or does it have loadbearing walls? How thick do walls and floors need to be? Structural timber elements combines design data with the invaluable experience of timber designers. Particularly useful for engineers who have designed buildings out of steel and concrete, but have limited experience with timber, it will also benefit architects, students and lecturers who need comparative information on structural timber options. The second edition of this book contains additional coverage of robustness, moisture movement, typical moment connection capacities, long span beams, as well as several new drawings, graphs and sizing tables.
