- Author information
Lead author Dr Keerthi Ranasinghe is a Senior Lecturer and Programme Director for Civil Engineering at the University of Wales, a member of the TRADA Advisory Committee and several UK and CEN committees on timber design. He is the UK representative on the CEN/TC250/SC5/WG5 Timber Connections and a project team member writing the connections chapter of the next version of Eurocode 5.
Co-contributor Dr Jose-Manuel Cabrero is a Professor and Wood Chair at the University of Navarra, Pamplona Spain and an invited member of the Eurocode 5 Project Team as an expert on the brittle failure mode of connections. He is the author of several technical papers on the subject of connections and is also a co-lead on a Europe-wide research study on CLT and CLT connections.
Reviewer Dr Adrian Leijten is a retired Professor of Timber Engineering at Eindhoven University of Technology and is the leader of the Eurocode 5 Project Team. Adrian was also a member of the project team that wrote the original 2004 edition of Eurocode 5. His studies on timber connections and compression perpendicular to grain behaviour of timber are widely considered as the most authoritative on these subjects.
