Structural Timber Design to Eurocode 5 2e | Jack Porteous, Abdy Kermani

Structural Timber Design to Eurocode 5 provides a step-by-step approach to the design of all of the most commonly used timber elements and connections using solid timber, glued laminated timber or wood based structural products. 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. §Originally published in hardback, the intention had been to publish a paperback edition with a few minor amendments, but in discussion with the authors it became clear that a new edition was warranted. A paperback edition is proposed here, as the competition is significantly cheaper.
