Description
Summary:Continued development of timber framing systems and the need to cater for a widening variety of materials and design conditions have led to a total revision of structural framing design. These developments include: provision for limit state design methods ; revised/new structural grades for timber ; provisions catering for open plan living - larger spans, wider openings and bigger rooms, which need a more rational approach to bracing design ; special engineered and fabricated timber products ; recognition of a wider range of high wind and cyclonic design ; and computer-aided design software for member sizes, bracing and tie-down.
