About this ebook
The Timber Designers' Manual (3rd Edition) by E. C. Ozelton and J. A. Baird is a comprehensive engineering guide focusing on the structural design and detailing of timber components. It aligns heavily with the British Standard BS 5268-2:2002 and includes introductory frameworks for Eurocode 5. [1, 2, 3]
The book is structured into the following core subject areas and chapters: [1, 2]
1. Materials and Fundamental Design Actions
  • The Materials Used in Timber Engineering: Solid timber, plywood, particleboard, OSB, wood fibreboards, engineered wood products (EWP), adhesives, and mechanical fasteners. [1]
  • Stress Levels for Solid Timber: Grade stress derivation, characteristic strength, load sharing, modulus of elasticity, and moisture content adjustments. [1]
  • Loading & Deflection: Practical design load criteria, shear deflection, creep, and dynamic properties. [1, 2]
2. Flexural and Tension Members
  • Design of Beams (General Notes): Fundamental concepts of flexural member behavior.
  • Specific Beam Configurations: Chapters explicitly dedicated to solid timber beams, multiple section beams, glulam beams, and thin web beams.
  • Lateral Stability of Beams: Overturning, lateral buckling, and torsional considerations.
  • Decking & Composite Lumber: Structural composite lumber (SCL) and solid timber decking.
  • Tension Members: Direct axial tension design rules. [1, 2]
3. Compression Members (Columns)
  • General Design of Compression Members: Axial stress, directional restraint, slenderness ratio, and effective length concepts.
  • Column Types: Dedicated chapters covering solid timber columns, multi-member columns, and glulam columns. [1, 2]
4. Joints and Structural Systems
  • Joint Engineering: Mechanical joints (including updated design values for 8.8 grade bolts) and glue/finger joints.
  • Complex Assemblies: Stress-skinned panels and truss frameworks.
  • System Stability: Overall building stability, including horizontal roof/floor diaphragms and vertical shear walls. [1, 2, 3]
5. Durability, Testing, and Codes
  • Structural Design for Fire Resistance: Fire performance and calculations.
  • Preservation & Hardwoods: Durability, chemical treatment, and specific nuances of structural hardwood.
  • Testing & Modern Standards: Prototype testing procedures and comprehensive guidelines for Design to Eurocode 5.
  • Miscellaneous Tables: Extensive coefficients and reference charts to bypass manual math. [1, 2, 3, 4]
