ABOUT THIS BOOK
Timber Frame Engineering in Limit States Design presents the most up-to-date and comprehensive engineering codes and specification tables exclusively for Canada’s wood engineering design methodology. Not only is it an invaluable reference and resource for any student wanting to pursue a career in wood engineering design, but it has been geared towards upgrading the professional to recent changes in limit states design.
The book is based on solid sawn post and beam members, dimension lumber and also includes a detailed chapter on the engineering behind all-wood timber frame joinery using wooden pegs. This exclusive edition contains over 150 three dimensional full-colour visuals along with step-by-step procedures for solving all aspects of beam and column design. Given its practical, logically detailed and presentable approach, the book is bound to become a well-used resource for years to come!
