"Wood Construction Compact" has been designed for both students and practitioners and does not limit itself to pure timber construction tasks, but also addresses structural engineering as necessary. The new edition is based on Eurocode 5 and incorporates numerous new findings from research and practical development. In addition to the fundamentals of design, materials, durability, and fire protection, the foundational work particularly focuses on constructing with wood and wood-based materials, illustrated with very detailed examples for residential buildings and hall structures.
