About this product

Product Information

With some 600 photos and 4000 drawings and plans, the Wood Construction Manual is a comprehensive and indispensable reference work in the specialist literature on wood. It looks at all types of wood and wood materials, also presenting detailed information on the current norms and standards. Chapters cover the basic principles of working with wood, providing detailed information on subjects such as heat, noise insulation, fire protection treatment. The significance of wood with particular reference to ecology is also investigated. Wood as a load-bearing material is considered, and topics such as new methods of joining, transport and montage are documented. The second part of the volume presents a large number of built examples which feature some classic structures but focus chiefly on more recent buildings. The spectrum presented ranges from heavy-load bridges to multi-storey residential buildings. The second part of the examples looks specifically at topics such as facades, building skins etc.
