The book does not limit itself in scope to serving only as a common history. Rather, it provides critical analysis of HTC in terms of construction methods, design, technical specifications, and historical performance under fire conditions. As such, this book provides readers with a truly comprehensive understanding and exploration of heavy timber construction in the United States and its performance under fire conditions.Building materialsBuildings—Design and constructionBuildingConstructionEngineering, ArchitecturalLightweight constructionBuilding, Iron and steelLightweight constructionBuilding materialsForest productsBuilding Materialshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T23047Building Construction and Designhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T23012Light Construction, Steel Construction, Timber Constructionhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T23100Structural Materialshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Z11000Wood Science & Technologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L22032Building materials.Buildings—Design and construction.Building.Construction.Engineering, Architectural.Lightweight construction.Building, Iron and steel.Lightweight construction.Building materials.Forest products.Building Materials.Building Construction and Design.Light Construction, Steel Construction, Timber Construction.Structural Materials.Wood Science & Technology.620Heitz Jesseauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut762225BOOK9910254215703321Fire Resistance in American Heavy Timber Construction1545016UNINA
