This book was released on 2020-12-07 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is a growing interest in the use of wood in new building, not least because it has low embodied energy and it is an infinitely renewable resource. Despite a great deal of innovation in the use of wood in construction in recent years, the fundamentals of using this natural material have not really changed: the different types of wood have different properties and differing responses to the environment in which they are used. When used correctly, wood is an excellent building material but when inappropriately specified or used, it may cause problems. Poor understanding of the properties of wood and the many species and grades that are commercially available can result in this versatile material performing below expectation, and certainly less well than could have been achieved with greater understanding about how best to use it. How Wood Works is a combination of the author's two previous books, into one comprehensive volume. Revised and updated material to deal with the essentials of structural design and building in timber, in a sustainable manner while reflecting on changes in Standards and other Regulations and expanding on certain technical areas – such as more detailed wood science and wood structure.

Excerpt: ...fellings, yields a higher return on the capital invested in it than high forest, and it also furnishes material of greater variety than can be obtained from the latter. The inhabitants of the communes mainly require firewood and small size timber: these the coppice system supplies. Together with a modification of standard coppice it is in practice in nearly all broad-leaved forests of the communes, the high forests owned by these bodies being chiefly in mountainous parts, and consisting of conifers, which will not reproduce from the stool. The State, however, maintains more than half of its productive forests for the supply of mature timber of commercial value, its proportion of coppice being less than a third. The rotations under high forest are much longer than under coppice, and it might be expected that the returns under the former system would be less than under the latter. It appears, however, that the returns from the State forests are greater in quantity and superior in quality. There are two local variations of simple coppice. In the Ardennes region of North-East France, sartage is practised. The chips and twigs left after cutting the coppice-wood are collected and burnt on the ground, the ashes thus obtained being used to manure the cereal crop, which is planted between the stools during the following year. Furetage prevails in the Seine Valley, and provides most of the firewood for Paris; it also obtains in the mountain regions of Southern France, where it is not desirable to denude the cover growing on steep slopes. In this system, the whole of the coppice on a given area is not felled, but only stool-shoots of certain dimensions. The cutting is repeated every year or at intervals of two to five years. High forest, which is...

Book excerpt: For nearly 60 years, Timber: Structure, Properties, Conversion, and Use has been the authoritative text on timber technology. Now in its seventh edition, this book remains a vital resource, providing accurate, comprehensive, and fact-driven information for students and professionals in the field. From basic coverage of timber structure, properties, processing, and utilization, to more in-depth scientific investigations, this book covers all the issues and topics of concern to readers with a wide range of levels of sophistication. Timber technology has not stood still since the last revision; Timber: Structure, Properties, Conversion, and Use has kept the pace, exploring such high-tech topics as computer-aided wood identification and log conversion, radio frequency drying of wood, enhancement of wood with plastics, application of preservatives with high-pressure vacuum systems, and the development and application of flame-retardant solutions. Other timely updates include enlarging the chapter on mechanical performance to cover elastic behavior, toughness, and the use of structural-sized timber for strength tests. The chapter on board materials has also been extensively updated and enlarged to include information on new boards and structural composites that have emerged since the last edition. One of the most important strengths of Timber: Structure, Properties, Conversion, and Use is its versatility as a reference for timber professionals while remaining approachable to students in the field. Evidence of the book?s comprehensiveness and versatility becomes clear as it teaches readers about such wide-ranging topics as: identification and nomenclature of timbers variability in cellular features between species principal chemical constituents in timber structural variability caused by natural defects such as bark pockets, resin streaks, and brittleheart determination of density and moisture content in timber thermal and acoustic properties of wood conversion equipment such as circular saws, band saws, frame saws, and chipper canters health and safety issues in the industry adhesives, metal connectors, and joint design forest and millyard pests application of preservatives and finishes From basic identification and timber nomenclature to methods of sap displacement and tests of electrical conductivity, Timber: Structure, Properties, Conversion, and Use covers it all. And while it is no longer possible for any one individual to write authoritatively on every aspect of timber technology, embracing as it does structure, properties, conversion, utilization, and behavior in service, J. M. Dinwoodie has gathered expert opinions and expanded on original author H. E. Desch?s approach and vision to continue to provide the authoritative text on timber technology.

This book was released on 1994-10-31 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To obtain the best attainable end-use stability of a wooden product it is essential to have information on the movement and shrinkage that may be expected. In this context, it is essential when drying timber to choose an accurate drying schedule in relation to the shrinkage figures and the risk of deformation. Generally, many timber properties are closely related to the density and the nominal specific gravity. With the given detailed information (per wood species), the water content (amount of evaporation and energy in timber drying) or the void volume (in case of impregnation, in order to estimate the maximum uptake of a liquid) in the wood can be calculated. The physical properties of 145 commercial timbers have been determined in the past decades. They comprise the shrinkage and swelling values, equilibrium moisture content, hysteresis, density and nominal specific gravity, including the variation coefficients of these values. The shrinkage, swelling and hysteresis are presented in graphic form; the other information in tabular form. Additional information about some other properties of physical nature has been added, e.g. gluelam products and rattan.

Book excerpt: Since the sixth edition of this classic text/reference was published in 1981, there have been so many developments in the field that the new seventh edition represents an almost total rewrite of the subject matter. The opportunity has been taken to rearrange the structure and broaden the scope to cover areas of conversion, machining and the application of paints and finishes; the format has also been enlarged to improve readability. Part 1 contains chapters that deal with the structure of wood at the gross, cellular and molecular levels; variability is also covered. Part 2 has five chapters on the properties of wood, with special coverage of elastic behaviour, toughness and the use of structural-sized timber for strength tests. Part 3 on processing has material on several new areas not covered in earlier editions of the book; for example, log conversion, seasoning, and the machining of wood and board. The discussion of grading and grade stresses is fully updated. Part 4 on utilisation examines the latest techniques and standards for the manufacture of wood products. Part 5 examines all aspects of timber in service, including protection and preservation. The book will appeal to a wide readership, both as a student text and reference. Students of wood science and forestry at undergraduate and equivalent level will find it of special value. All institutions with courses in the built environment will wish to make the book available as a reference source.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Timbers and Their Uses: A Handbook for Woodworkers, Merchants, and All Interested in the Conversion and Use of Timber My excuse for a book on timber at the present time is the pertinent one that timber is all-important to-day. Thirteen years ago the late President Roosevelt said, "Wood is an indispensable part of the material structure upon which civilization rests." I must express my indebtedness to the Agents-General of the various provinces of Australia for invaluable assistance in supplying information. The standard works by Messrs. Boulger, Stone, Record, Laslett, and Marshall Ward have been freely referred to, and due acknowledgment is made in the bibliography.
