preview-button-blue.png

This book illustrates the evolution of timber structures from medieval times to today, describing the materials used in connections. It explains the three connection types - all timber, metal connectors and adhesives - used in the principal assembly forms of timber structures. Connection principles are illustrated for beams, trusses, arches, portal frames, braced and unbraced frames, curved and double curved lattices, platform frame, panel systems and pole structures. It summarises the key factors contributing to load transfer, durability and fire resistance.

Illustrated with more than 100 connection details and assembly forms, this is written by BM TRADA experts. This concise illustrated guide illustrates

  • the main structural forms for which timber is suitable;
  • a range of the common connections used to assemble these forms;
  • what these connections might look like;
  • the structural design constaints which affect configuration and appearance;
  • good detailing practice.
