Hey all,

Was wondering if there is any (preferably online) material that studies timber framing (as opposed to timber/hardware framing) that I could send off to some structural engineers.

Structural engineering at large is all about steel and when you throw in timber they seem to look for hardware first. If there is some good stuff out there I would like to pass it along. The obstacle is that the ones I have dealt with don't know about how we join.

I have the green book, anything else out there?

Thanks,

Moyer

Perfect. Thanks twrestler and the guild.

That standard will become a code referenced document before it's all done;

The NDS is the code wood design standard.

Hello,

If your engineers are looking for specific timber framing engineering method, then this might help them out.
