Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Modern Timber Design Because wood is different from other materials and because it is non homogeneous, most of the design data have been derived from test results. It has been the function of the personnel at the Forest Products Laboratory at Madison, Wisconsin, which is a part of the United States Department of Agriculture, to develop the necessary data for scientific design in wood, and most of the available information is a result of their tests and interpretations. Naturally, then, no book on timber design can be written without due acknowledgment to the staff of the Forest Products Laboratory. Generous use has been made of their publications.

Download or read book The Half Timber House written by Allen W. Jackson and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-03 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Half-Timber House Its Origin, Design, Modern Plan, and Construction; Illustrated With Photographs of Old Examples and American Adaptations of the Style is written for the general reader by Allen W. Jackson. The preface declares that Jackson's intention for this book is not to provide a "technical treatise" or a serious contribution to the history of architecture. This book has been written, instead, for the primary purpose of bringing the concept of house building to average individuals who are considering building for themselves. This book presents a very practical guide to house building and construction concepts that the author breaks down into easily digestible parts. Jackson has already printed several articles on this topic, and this book brings all of the author's previously written articles on this subject and compiles them into one concise manuscript with key chapters molded in direct response to previously published articles by Jackson. The author has also crafted several illustrations of his own work to represent the ideas and concepts within the book more clearly to the reader. The Half-Timber House Its Origin, Design, Modern Plan, and Construction; Illustrated With Photographs of Old Examples and American Adaptations of the Style is an exciting read for any individual who wants to learn how to build a practical house with their own two hands. This book is a wonderful resource for individuals with no previous building experience, and for readers who are well versed in construction. This book makes for a very informative read for people wanting to learn building basics, those that want to know how to construct a solid home, and those that want to refresh their previously held knowledge about building.

Book excerpt: Mass Timber / Design and Research presents new research and design work with Mass Timber, a new construction technology, well-known in Europe, but relatively unfamiliar in the United States. Leading the Mass Timber design dialogue in the US, the author, Susan Jones, an architect in Seattle, Washington, has been pioneering the new, innovative use of wood over the past six years, since she built her own family's house from cross-laminated timber in 2015 in a neighborhood in Seattle.

Opening with the story of three generations of her family's own sustainable forest practices, the book presents research into Pacific Northwest forestry, timber and Cross-Laminated Timber manufacturing practices, to carbon analysis and carbon comparisons between standard building construction assemblies and technologies; and concludes with the design of model buildings both designed and built by her firm, atelierjones and her University of Washington students: including a single-family house, a church, schools, multi-family housing, and a twelve-story Tall Timber Wood Innovation tower on the University of Washington campus in Seattle.
