Laminated Timber Construction
by Christian Muller
(Birkhauser Verlag 2000)


Once seen mainly in churches and indoor swimming pools, laminated timber is now rapidly on the rise as a structural material. Today, uses in building projects from bridges to gymnasiums include columns, rafters, beams, and trusses. Laminated Timber Construction shows how this versatile construction technology is applied in novel ways throughout North America, South America, and Europe. With environment-friendly production, laminate timber is also seen as a green construction material, making this book a modern and useful building resource.
