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, ArchitecturalLight constructionSteel constructionLightweight constructionStructural 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.Light construction.Steel construction.Lightweight construction.Structural 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
