Synopsis

Tables of the Strength and Deflection of Timber offers practical, table-based guidance for building with wood.

This edition compiles measurements, formulas, and example calculations that help determine how timber behaves under load and deformation. It’s a useful reference for engineers, students, and builders who rely on tested values and clear steps.

The book presents tables of timber weights, deflection data, and elasticity across common species. It also covers methods for estimating volumes and true contents in complex cuts and sections, with worked examples to illustrate the calculations.

  • Deflection and strength data for Red Pine and other species, with scaled sparing and loading scenarios
  • Weights for various scantlings and depth options to plan practical members
  • Formulas and step-by-step examples to estimate volume and solid content
  • Grounded guidance for comparing timber types and selecting suitable dimensions

Ideal for readers needing concrete, calculation-based timber guidance in construction and design contexts.
