Download or read book Structural Timber Design to Eurocode 5 written by Jack Porteous and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2008-05-23 with total page 556 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Structural Timber Design to Eurocode 5 is a comprehensive book which provides practising engineers and specialist contractors with detailed information and in-depth guidance on the design of timber structures based on the common rules and rules for buildings in Eurocode 5 - Part 1-1. It will also be of interest to undergraduate and postgraduate students of civil and structural engineering. The book 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. It features numerous detailed worked examples, and incorporates the requirements of the UK National Annex. It covers the strength and stiffness properties of timber and its reconstituted and engineered products; the key requirements of Eurocode 0, Eurocode 1 and Eurocode 5 - Part 1-1; the design of beams and columns of solid timber, glued laminated, composite and thin-webbed sections; the lateral stability requirements of timber structures; and the design of mechanical connections subjected to lateral and/or axial forces as well as rigid and semi-rigid connections subjected to a moment. The Authors Jack Porteous is a consulting engineer specialising in timber engineering. He is a Chartered Engineer, Fellow of the Institution of Civil Engineers and Member of the Institution of Structural Engineers. He is a visiting scholar and lecturer in timber engineering at Napier University. Abdy Kermani is the Professor of Timber Engineering and R&D consultant at Napier University. He is a Chartered Engineer, Member of the Institution of Structural Engineers and Fellow of the Institute of Wood Science with over 20 years' experience in civil and structural engineering research, teaching and practice. The authors have led several research and development programmes on the structural use of timber and its reconstituted products. Their research work in timber engineering is internationally recognised and published widely. Also of Interest Timber Designers' Manual Third Edition E.C. Ozelton & J.A.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Der Holzbau ist seit einigen Jahren einer der innovativsten Bereiche des Bauwesens. Die Geschwindigkeit, mit der neue Produkte in die Praxis eingeführt werden, ist im Vergleich zu anderen Baustoffen fast atemberaubend. So gewinnt der Holzbau im Gewerbe- und Hallenbau, aber auch im mehrgeschossigen Wohn- und Bürobau kontinuierlich an Marktanteil. Dieses Buch vermittelt wesentliche Kenntnisse und Fertigkeiten, die für den Entwurf, die Bemessung und die Konstruktion von Holzkonstruktionen für typische Bauwerke erforderlich sind. Besonderes Augenmerk wird auf die spezifischen Eigenschaften von Holz und Holzwerkstoffen im Vergleich zu anderen Baustoffen gelegt. Dies betrifft die zahlreichen Vorteile, wie z. B. das vergleichsweise geringe Gewicht, die gute Verarbeitbarkeit des Hochleistungswerkstoffs und die große Vielfalt an Montagetechniken, aber auch die Herausforderungen, die sich aus der Materialanisotropie und aus der Anfälligkeit für natürliche Schädlinge ergeben. In jedem Kapitel werden zunächst die wesentlichen Phänomene erläutert und erst danach in Zusammenhang mit Regelwerken gebracht. Damit soll das Grundverständnis für die Zusammenhänge und Abhängigkeiten im Holzbau unterstützt werden, das die wesentliche Grundlage für kreative Ingenieurarbeit ist.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This third edition of a popular textbook is a concise single-volume introduction to the design of structural elements in concrete, steel, timber, masonry, and composites. It provides design principles and guidance in line with both British Standards and Eurocodes, current as of late 2007. Topics discussed include the philosophy of design, basic structural concepts, and material properties. After an introduction and overview of structural design, the book is conveniently divided into sections based on British Standards and Eurocodes.

Download or read book Structural Timber Design written by Abdy Kermani and published by Wiley-Blackwell. This book was released on 1998-12-11 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Structural Timber Design is a comprehensive textbook that provides students of building and civil engineering courses with a wealth of information and in-depth guidance on design methods to the recently revised BS 5268 : Part 2 and the proposed Eurocode 5. It is also an invaluable reference source and design aid for practising engineers and architects. The text provides a step-by-step approach to the design of all the most commonly used timber elements and connections (illustrated by detailed work examples), and encourages the use of computers to carry out design calculations. I t covers the characteristics of timber; a review of BS 5268: Part 2 and its requirements; the design of beams and columns of solid, glued laminated and composite sections and mechanical and glued timber connections. The book also reviews the proposed Eurocode 5 and its limit states requirements, including the design of flexural and axially loaded members and connections.
