Eurocode 5: Design of timber structures. General. Common rules and rules for buildings
Also Known As:
BS EN 1995-1-1:2004+A2:2014 is a standard that provides general design rules for timber structures used in building and civil engineering works. It is intended for use by structural engineers, civil engineers, designers/architects, manufacturers/producers of construction/timber products, and the timber market in general. Additionally, the standard is relevant for the software systems industry that produces solutions for design, construction, and operation of infrastructure.
The purpose of this standard is to explain how aspects of the design process should be implemented specifically for timber structures. It addresses certain design considerations that are specific to timber, such as accounting for the effects of duration of load and moisture content. The standard is applicable to the design of buildings using various forms of timber, including solid timber, sawn, planed or in pole form, glued laminated timber, wood-based structural products (e.g. LVL), and wood-based panels jointed together with adhesives or mechanical fasteners.
The latest update of BS EN 1995-1-1 reflects the latest technological developments in the timber industry and incorporates industry best practices. The revision has been carried out by experts in the field to ensure that the standard remains up to date and relevant for timber structure design.
