It covers recent developments in the materials and the joints used in modern timber structures. Regarding basic wooden materials, the contributions highlight the widened spectrum of products comprising cross-laminated timber, glulam and LVL from hardwoods and block glued elements. Timber concrete compounds, cement bonded wood composites and innovative light-weight constructions represent increasingly employed alternatives for floors, bridges and facades. With regard to jointing technologies, considerable advances in both mechanical connections and glued joints are presented. Self-tapping screws have created unprecedented options for reliable, strong as well as ductile joints and reinforcement technologies. Regarding adhesives, which constitute the basis of the jointing\/laminating technology of modern timber products, extended options for tailor-made bonding solutions have to be stated. Apart from melamine-urea and phenolic-resorcinol adhesives, one-component-polyurethanes, emulsion isocyanate polymers and epoxies offer a wide range of possibilities. The contributions dealing with experimental and numerical investigations on static, cyclic and seismic behavior of structures clearly reveal the enhanced potential of modern timber construction for reliable and sustainable buildings and bridges of the new millennium.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe book is structured in nine thematic areas, being\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI) Structures\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eII) Mechanical Connections\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIII) Glued Joints and Adhesives\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIV) Timber and Concrete\/Cement\/Polymer Composites\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eV) Cyclic, Seismic Behavior\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVI) Hardwood, Modified Wood and Bamboo\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVII) Cross-Laminated Timber\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVIII) Properties and Testing of Wood\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIX) Glulam\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Simon Aicher\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9400778104\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789400778108\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Springer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/09\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 839\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.20w x 2.00d","brand":"Simon Aicher","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48440431542527,"sku":"9789400778108","price":379.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3d6ba526-c49a-46c6-9b62-8a28f9fd68ad.jpg?v=1777182407","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/materials-and-joints-in-timber-simon-aicher-9789400778108","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
