Course Description:

'' This course covers the design of timber structures to Euorocde 5, from an introduction to Limit State based Eurocodes to design of realistic timber structures.

Learning outcomes:
Understand the Limit States Design method
Calculate design loads on timber structures to Eurocodes (EN 1990, EN 1991 and EN 1995)
Analyse and design basic bending members, axially loaded members and members subjected to combined axial and flexural loads
Analyse and design timber components including floors, load-bearing walls and roof trusses
Aims & Objectives:
On completion of this course, delegates will be able to:

Describe Limit State Design method for structural design
Establish combinations of loadings on timber structures, e.g. permanent, variable and accidental actions
Calculate different types of loading on timber structures to Eurocode 1, e.g. dead, imposed and snow loads, etc.
Explain strength classes and material properties of structural timber
Establish the design procedure for flexural members at ultimate limit states (bending, shear, bearing, lateral stability and notch) and serviceability limit states (deflection and vibration), e.g. timber flooring systems
Establish the design procedure for axially loaded timber members, e.g. ties, columns
Establish the design procedure for timber members under combined axial and flexural loads, e.g. roof trusses
