5.0 out of 5 stars
thorough,
This review is from: Timber Construction Manual, 4th Edition (Hardcover)
This book covers everything an engineer could ever need with regard to wood construction. From glulams to ply-wood this book has it all. This is the only reference necessary in order to design wood trusses and glulam arches. I found the book extremely useful in figuring various structural factors unique to wood construction(eg. checking and moisture content). This is the best resource for the structural, civil or mechanical engineer interested in timber construction.
