Timber Construction Manual is a convenient reference for architects, engineers and contractors!
This Fifth Edition provides the
latest design criteria for timber construction, a simplified design procedure
for pitched and tapered curved beams, and an entirely new chapter on Load and
Resistance Factor Design (LRFD). Information and recommendations are based on
the most reliable technical data available and reflect commercial purposes found
to be the most practical. 512 pp.
