Timber Design Guide

17 March 2010

The Third Edition of the Timber Design Guide by Dr Andrew Buchanan is now available.

The table of contents for this edition is listed below for your information. You will see that there has been an enhancement on the previous edition with new chapters on lateral forces, multi storey buildings, timber bridges and bolted connections as well as separate chapters now for sawn timber, LVL and Roundwood.

In addition all existing chapters have been reviewed and updated to reflect current requirements.

We believe this new edition will be a valuable resource for you and your office especially in light of the Government’s desire to utilise timber to a greater extent in modern commercial buildings.

You can obtain your copy(ies) of the Timber Design Guide Third Edition now by contacting the NZTIF office on 04-473 5200 or Email to inquiries@nztif.co.nz
