Structural Timber Design to Eurocode 5 (PDF)

Structural Timber Design to Eurocode 5 provides
practising engineers and specialist contractors with comprehensive,
detailed information and in-depth guidance on the design of timber
structures based on the common rules and rules for buildings in
Eurocode 5 - Part 1-1. It will also be of interest to
undergraduate and postgraduate students of civil and structural
engineering.

It provides a step-by-step approach to the design of all of the
commonly used timber elements and connections using solid timber,
glued laminated timber or wood based structural products, and
incorporates the requirements of the UK National Annex. It
covers:

* strength and stiffness properties of timber and its
reconstituted and engineered products

* key requirements of Eurocode 0, Eurocode 1 and Eurocode 5
- Part 1-1

* design of beams and columns of solid timber, glued laminated,
composite and thin-webbed sections

* lateral stability requirements of timber structures

* design of mechanical connections subjected to lateral and/or
axial forces

* design of moment resisting rigid and semi-rigid
connections

* racking design of multi-storey platform framed walls

Featuring numerous detailed worked examples, the second edition
has been thoroughly updated and includes information on the
consequences of amendments and revisions to EC5 published since the
first edition, and the significant additional requirements of BSI
non contradictory, complimentary information document (PD 6693-1-1)
relating to EC5. The new edition also includes a new section on
axial stress conditions in composite sections, covering combined
axial and bending stress conditions and reference to the major
revisions to the design procedure for glued laminated timber.
