This Standard sets out limit state design methods for the structural use of timber, which are based on the principles of structural mechanics and on data established by research. It provides design data for sawn timber, laminated timber, timber in pole form, plywood, laminated veneer lumber and various types of fastenings. In addition, it provides methods of test for components or assemblies of unconventional design which may not be readily amenable to detailed analysis.For ease of use, the simpler design situations are set in the main body of the text. Related appendices, which form an integral part of the Standard, give acceptable procedures for detailed design situations.
