Carmen Sandhaas Book order

The book delves into the complexities of timber joint design using dowel-type fasteners, highlighting the significance of yield moment and withdrawal capacity parameters derived from European certification testing. It reveals the challenges posed by large data variability and the misleading nature of global regression equations, which tend to be overly conservative and can result in erroneous failure mode predictions. The analysis suggests that bespoke series may reveal clearer trends, emphasizing the need for representative data in achieving accurate assessments.

This comprehensive book offers in-depth knowledge of design rules per Eurocode 5, updating the STEP series from 1995. It is intended for students, structural engineers, and timber structure professionals, providing essential insights into structural timber education across Europe.
