Résumé

This major reference manual covers both overall and detail design of structural timber, including aspects such as shear deflection, creep, dynamic and lateral stability considerations for flexural members.

It has been substantially revised to take account of changes since the last edition, nearly 20 years ago, and to include the latest revision of British Standard BS 5268-2 : 2002, which has brought design concepts closer to European practice and Eurocode 5.

New features of the Third Edition include:

revised information on bolt values including a consideration of improved performance using 8.8 grade bolts
new chapters on composite sections and Eurocode 5 on structural timber
new developments in materials and products
horizontal roof and floor diaphragms
vertical shear walls

The manual continues to provide extensive tables and coefficients that will save the practising engineer many design hours. It will also be of interest as a reference for civil engineering undergraduates and to timber manufacturers. Whilst the design examples in the book are based on BS 5268, a large part of the content will have international appeal, whatever code or standard is being used.

From reviews of the last edition

'the complete design manual ... a must'
Timber Trades Journal

'the manual continues its established position as an authoritative reference and in providing numerous time saving design aids.'
Institute of Wood Science Journal

L'auteur - E. C. Ozelton

E.Carl Ozelton is a consulting engineer specializing in the design and detailing of all forms of timber engineering and timber frame construction. Prior to setting up his own practice in 1977 he was Technical Director of Walter Holme &: Sons Ltd, Timber Engineers, Liverpool and Technical Director of Prestoplan Homes Ltd, Timber Frame Manufacturers, Preston.

He is a Chartered Structural Engineer, a Fellow of the Institution of Structural Engineers and an Associate of the Institute of Wood Science. He was awarded first prize in the Plywood Design Award 1966/7 sponsored by the Timber Trade Federation.

L'auteur - J. A. Baird

Jack A. Baird, a Chartered Structural Engineer, specialised initially in structural steelwork before becoming Technical Manager of Newsum Timber Engineers, following which he worked on BSI documents such as design code BS 5268. In 1970 he started the Swedish Timber Council, subsequently to become the Swedish Finnish Timber Council, in which role he produced factual information on many aspects of timber such as structural timber, and helped to persuade Nordic sawmillers to machine stress grade at source to BS 4978 under the Kitemark scheme. He co-authored the first edition of Timber Designers' Manual with Carl Ozelton in the 1970s and was responsible for seeing the second edition through the press.
