The latest edition of the timber construction manual introduces the concept of hybrid construction, which combines timber with other materials for enhanced structural efficiency and design flexibility. This approach is gaining traction, especially in urban and multistorey buildings, where timber construction offers both environmental benefits and innovative architectural possibilities.
This revised and expanded manual covers the entire process of timber construction, from design and prefabrication to on-site assembly. It emphasizes the importance of collaboration among all stakeholders involved in the project and provides the technical expertise necessary for successful modern timber construction projects.
Key topics include construction and design methodology in multistorey timber construction, the development of new timber and hybrid construction systems, and the structural elements, layer structure, and tectonics involved in modern timber construction. With comprehensive coverage and practical insights, this manual serves as an indispensable resource for architects, engineers, and builders embracing the potential of timber construction in contemporary building projects.
