Synopsis
This book provides instruction on grading and using structural timbers for commercial construction applications. Originally issued by the United States Department of Agriculture in 1934, this is a foundational reference for builders, architects, and engineers seeking a deeper understanding of the material properties of timber and how it relates to structural integrity. This book provides a contextual overview of how timber is used in construction, going on to discuss how the quality of wood is assessed and separated into strength grades for building codes and standards. Further, the author reviews the effects of seasoning, or drying out the timber, on its quality and strength. The book concludes with discussions on the influence of specific factors, such as cross grain patterns and shakes, on a timber's strength, as well as the calculation of working stresses based on the relevant factors. While the book's age may suggest a lack of modern knowledge, the principles covered in this book continue to be the foundation for modern grading and usage standards for structural timber in the present day.
