| Zusammenfassung: | Anatomy and physical properties of tropical wood -- Mechanical properties of wood -- Hardwod timber seasoning and preservation -- Uses of wood and wood products in construction -- A review of the basic theory of structures -- Structural load computations -- Design of wood beams -- Design of solid wood columns -- Design of built-up wooden columns -- Design of wood connections -- Design of wooden trusses -- An introduction to wooden bridges -- Appendix A -- Appendix B This book provides basic information on the design of structures with tropical woods. It is intended primarily for teaching university- and college-level courses in structural design. It is also suitable as a reference material for practitioners. Although parts of the background material relate specifically to West and East Africa, the design principles apply to the whole of tropical Africa, Latin America and South Asia. The book is laced with ample illustrations including photographs of real life wood structures and structural elements across Africa that make for interesting reading. |
