Textbook in PDF format

This is the third revised edition of Design of timber structures Volume 1, Structural aspects of timber construction published in 2015. Rules and standards change in pace with the development of society, hence a publication of this type needs to be reviewed regularly. Contrary to earlier English editions, the current version is not adapted to the Swedish national choices in Eurocode 1995. I nstead, the original Eurocode 1995 is referred to, in order to simply adaptation to different national parameters in the country using the book.
The book series Design of timber structures Volume 1–3 has been produced to make it easier for structural designers to calculate timber structures and it is adapted to Eurocodes. It is being used for higher education at universi ties and institutes.
The book series Design of timber structures Volume 1–3 includes Volume 2, Rules and formulas according to Eurocode 5 as well as Volume 3, Examples. All three books are available in English and Swedish. Since the books are available in both languages and due to the nuanced content, our goal is that they wi ll play a role for many users on different skill levels.
