Master timber framing details and design principles for real-world projects

This practical reference covers how engineers assess timber, from unit stresses to beam and connector design. It presents methods, calculations, and standards used in structural timber work, with an emphasis on safe, workable guidelines for builders and designers.

The book guides you through choosing timber, evaluating loading, and applying tests and tables to real structures. It also explains how to use hardware like hangers, bolts, and splice plates, and how building codes influence permissible stresses and practices.

How unit-stresses for structural timber are determined and applied
Techniques for calculating beam strength, deflection, and joints
Practical details on stringers, spacings, and packing methods for trestles
How to select, size, and install hardware such as beam hangers and splice plates

Ideal for readers building or inspecting wooden structures, and for those needing solid, historical reference on timber design practices.
