Timber Construction Manual 6th Edition by by American Institute of Timber Construction (AITC) and Jeff D. Linville has become the definitive design and construction industry source for building with structural glued laminated timber. Revised to cover the 2011 National Design Specification for Wood from the National Forest Products Association, IBC 2009 ASCE 7-10, and AITC 117-2004, this new edition contains the latest design procedures for glulam construction and an expanded collection of real-world design examples supported with detailed schematic drawings.
Information and recommendations are based on the most reliable technical data available and reflect commercial purposes found to be the most practical. It features an improved organization of content to provide architects, engineers, contractors, educators, the laminating and fabricating industry, and all others having a need for reliable, up-to-date technical data and recommendations on engineered timber construction with essential knowledge of wood and its application to specific design considerations.
Based on the most reliable technical data available, this defining guide has been thoroughly revised to encompass:
- The latest design procedures for timber construction, featuring thorough updates of all recommended design criteria for timber members, systems, and fasteners
- A simplified design procedure for pitched and tapered curved beams
- An entirely new chapter on Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) and an updated section on the chemical properties of wood
- The latest design and construction codes, including the 2001 National Design Specification for Wood from the National Forest Products Association, AITC 117-2004, and examples featuring ASCE 7-02 and IBC 2003
- More cross-referencing to other available AITC standards and less superfluous full citations result in a leaner book with more useful, up-to-date information
