520 _aProvides guidance to those involved in the structural assessment, repair and restoration of historic timber buildings. Focuses on two types of structure; the oak frames of buildings dating from the middle ages, and the timber elements of masonry buildings from the late 17th century. Covers: the materials and carpentry techniques used; the structural behaviour of the timber elements, including loads and stresses; decay and methods of repair; and the process of surveying for repair. Appendices provide timber grades and related diagrams, comparative loads on a pegged tenon, and Hankinson's formula. Bibliography.
