Timber Construction Manual
Load-bearing structures and building skins
The state-of-the-art reference work on timber construction for architects and engineers
The functional efficiency of modern timber structures is still underestimated. A close collaboration between architects and engineers is necessary in this area – more so than in almost any other field of architecture. The aesthetic quality of exposed timber structures can have a great effect on the architectural form of a building, just as architectural design concepts have a major influence on the form of the structure. Both aspects are treated in depth in this comprehensive standard work.
- More than 4,000 detail drawings
- The main planning principles clearly presented – from building physics to fire protection
- From simple beam construction to complex lattice shells
- The wide range of structural systems in use is illustrated by more than 70 extensively documented examples
