Offers design guidance for structural timberwork in single-storey and medium-rise multi-storey buildings. Considers 2 types of timber structure, open frame buildings and platform frame buildings with a maximum height of 18m to the finished floor level of the top storey. Considers the design aspects for roofs, floors and walls, flexural, tension and compression members, diaphragms and flitch beams, mechanically fastened and glued connections and load duration, service class, creep, durability and fire resistance.
