- Synopsis
- Wood and wood-based materials are taking centre stage in contemporary architecture — from striking multi-storey structures to innovative urban designs. Understanding their properties is essential to avoid costly mistakes and to apply standards such as Eurocode 5 with confidence.This book offers a clear, practical overview of the key physical and mechanical characteristics of major wood species and wood-based products — including moisture behaviour, elasticity, creep, and strength. It also addresses crucial topics such as protection, fire performance, bonding, and non-destructive monitoring of timber structures.Whether you are an architect, civil engineer, or a professional in the wood industry, this is your go-to reference for designing and building with timber. It is equally valuable as an introduction for mechanical engineers, chemists, automation specialists, and vocational students entering the field.
