Holzbau nach Eurocode

Calculating statics and dimensioning by hand is hardly feasible nowadays. The Eurocodes and their monstrous formulas are too complex. Most of the time, computer programs take care of the verification of the components. But without a basic understanding of the current Eurocodes and knowledge of their background, even the best software can only be used to a limited extent. For this reason, this reference book 'Timber construction according to the Eurocode' does not scare you away with countless formulas. Rather, it encourages reading and understanding. The structure of the book is completely geared towards readability and comprehensibility. And so, for example, the author relies on an informative marginal column, numerous application examples and, last but not least, a separate collection of formulas. From the contents: - Introduction to the Eurocodes - material properties of wood and wood-based materials - fundamentals of design - actions - ultimate limit state design - serviceability limit state design - stability design - composite components - mechanical fasteners - wood-wood connections - adhesive connections - design in case of fire - extensive separate collection of formulas.
