Product Description
The Institution in conjunction with TRADA have published the Manual for the design of timber building structures to Eurocode 5, a new book and CD based on the European standards for timber structural designs in the UK.
This manual supports the design of structures to BS EN 1995-1-1:2004 for construction in the UK.
The basic format of manuals published by the Institution for other structural materials is followed.
Guidance is provided on the design of structures of single-storey and medium-rise multi-storey buildings using common forms of structural timberwork.
Structures designed in accordance with this manual will normally comply with EC5.
Nationally Determined Parameters from the UK National Annex have been taken into account in the design formulae that are presented.
The manual is laid out for hand calculation, but the procedures are equally suitable for computer-based applications.
Timber is a relatively complex structural material but designers should find the manual concise and useful in practical design.
Methods are given for initial sizing design as well as for final design.
The accompanying CD provides connection design software to facilitate the calculation of the lateral load capacity of nails, screws, bolts and dowels, in addition to more extensive tables of material properties.
This Manual is part of a suite of manuals for the Eurocodes.
