Timber Engineering

Ingenieurholzbau

Timber Engineering - Principles for Design

This comprehensive book provides in-depth knowledge and understanding of design rules according to Eurocode 5. It is based on the first edition of the STEP (Structural Timber Education Programme) series, which was prepared in 1995 by about 50 authors from 14 European countries. The present work updates and extends the STEP compilation and is aimed at students, structural engineers and other timber structure professionals.

Karlsruhe reports on timber engineering

  • Since 2005, our research results and dissertations have been published in the series "Karlsruher Berichte zum Ingenieurholzbau". The books are produced by KIT Scientific Publishing using the "print-on-demand" method. At the same time, the publications are also published electronically and are therefore immediately available in full text.
