This section covers the math and engineering required for safety and stability:
Understanding wood anatomy, including specific gravity and moisture content, which directly affects structural performance. Timber construction manual
Criteria for tension members and "beam-columns" (which handle both vertical and horizontal forces). This section covers the math and engineering required
The integrity of a timber building depends on how its parts are joined: including specific gravity and moisture content
To build effectively with wood, a manual first addresses its natural characteristics:
Structural evaluation, including deflection and ponding.
