Book, Wooden Structures 6/03[LS]

In Wooden Structures, the authors present wooden products and their use in civil structures, the physical and mechanical properties of wood and the methodology for sizing structural elements in the context of the so-called limit state method. The materials are exposed in a way that considers, at the same time, the didactic and professional purposes of the work. The sizing criteria are introduced based on the theoretical concepts and experimental results on which they are based and are followed by practical applications in the form of solved problems. The sixth edition presents the work completely revised, expanded and updated, highlighting the introduction of a richly illustrated text with photos and figures on the application of wood in structural systems for civil works and a complete example of a wooden roof project in the chapter on trusses.
