Timber Designers' Manual
Timber Designers' Manual
E. C. Ozelton, J. A. Baird
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

Materials for Architects and Builders, Fourth Edition
Materials for Architects and Builders, Fourth Edition
Arthur Lyons,
Butterworth-Heinemann | 2010 | | 440 pages | PDF | 15,8 M
Materials for Architects and Builders covers the broad range of materials used within the construction industry and is a descriptive introduction to their manufacture, key physical properties, specification and uses.
This new edition has been completely revised and updated to include the latest developments in materials, appropriate technologies and relevant legislation. The current concern for the ecological effects of building construction and lifetime use are reflected in the emphasis given to sustainability and recycling. An additional chapter on sustainability and governmental carbon targets reinforces this issue.
The book is illustrated in colour throughout with many photographs and diagrams showing materials and building components both individually and in use. Chapters list up-to-date British and European Standards, relevant Building Regulations together with related Building Research Establishment publications and suggested further reading.
