Throughout the world, wood products and engineered wood structures have a tremendous economic significance, but the wood industry has historically received less attention and a lower degree of financial support for new development than other construction materials. At the same time, reliability-based design procedures (RBD) for engineered structures are being developed and are rapidly gaining acceptance by code agencies throughout the world. In this state of the art review of ""Reliability Based Design of Engineered Wood Structures"" the reader will find a complete vade mecum for reliable wood-based construction, including the fundamentals of reliability-based design, its development for structural timber, and work towards a global harmonization of timber engineering codes and standards. For all those engineers, builders and formulator of bulding standards and codes of practice whose work involves structural timber, ""Reliability Based Design of Engineered Wood Structures"" offers up to date support and information.
