Review
While written in a conversational tyle, Timber Construction isn't lightweight. In addition to useful drawings and photos, there are also excellent checklists for designers and specifiers. Particularly impressive were the well-illustrated chapters on fasteners, connectors and traditional joinery.
An accomplished architect and specialist in timber design, Goldstein is passionate about the creative potential for architectural expression in heavy-timber structures. Although there is a tremendous volume of technical and practical information here, there is throughout an enthusiasm for the potential of timber construction.
Anyone who works with wood, either as a designer or builder, will find something new, useful and exciting in these inspiring pages. -- Fine Homebuilding
From the Back Cover
A well-framed blueprint for success. In use since ancient times, yet gradually supplanted by steel and concrete, timber framing is once again surging in popularity. This comprehensive, hands-on guide, filled with practical architectural, engineering, and construction guidance, brings you up to date on design, materials, codes, and applications. With expertise from a leading timber architect, a top designer/builder of heavy timber frames, a wood scientist, and several renowned timber engineers, this book provides a conception-to-completion professional blueprint essential to anyone interested in or involved with timber construction. You get detailed information to help you: understand wood structure and properties; prevent wood degradation; design for durability; develop traditional and contemporary joinery; configure heavy timber trusses; use new materials, such as fiber-reinforced glulams; plan fabrication and erection, at the shop and in the field; understand engineering/construction interactions; identify maintenance, evaluation, and restoration issues; estimate and bid timber construction projects. PLUS: case studies of existing timber structures; graphs and charts for preliminary design; numerous photographs of details and assemblies.
About the Author
Eliot W. Goldstein, AIA, an award-winning architect and specialist in timber design, is a partner with The Goldstein Partnership of West Orange, New Jersey. Called "one of the top 25 newsmakers of 1995" by Engineering News-Record for his work with timber structures, he has designed numerous large public structures, including the timber-trussed Montville Township Public Library, which Engineering News-Record said "set a new standard for heavy timber structure as architecture ... and produced an instant landmark." Robert Lyman (Ben) Brungraber, Ph.D., P.E. (Chapter 7, Traditional Joinery), is a manager/part-owner of Benson Woodworking Co., Inc., in Alstead Center, New Hampshire, a firm that has designed and built some of the most prominent heavy timber frame structures in the United States, including more than 30 large, public projects. He has also repaired both the oldest and the longest covered bridges in Pennsylvania. Phillip C. Pierce, P.E. (Chapter 15, Covered Bridges), a recognized structural and design engineer, has led over 100 bridge design/rehabilitation projects and more than 1000 bridge inspection/evaluations, mostly in the northeastern United States. He is the author of several papers, and a popular public speaker about wooden bridges. He lives in Binghamton, New York. Fred Severud, P.E. (Chapter 9, Lateral Bracing) is a design engineer and former head of Severud Associates in New York City. He was in charge of the structural design team on the Blue Cross Headquarters, a 50-story office building in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and on the Madison Square Garden renovation in New York City, among many other outstanding projects. He is now an adjunct associate professor of civil engineering at the University of Missouri, Rolla. He lives in nearby Salem, Missouri. Stephen Smulski, Ph.D. (Chapter 3, Preventing Wood Degradation), is a consulting wood scientist and president/owner of Wood Science Specialists Inc., of Shutesbury, Massachusetts. A consultant to makers, sellers, and users of wood products and the editor of Wood Design Focus: A Journal of Contemporary Wood Engineering, Dr. Smulski has written extensively on moisture-caused problems in wood construction. He is an adjunct assistant professor of building materials and wood technology at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst.

A Delightful Introduction to Modern Timber Structures
By Jan Peczkis
Each chapter in this book illustrates some aspect of modern timber engineering. The early chapters introduce the reader to the basic properties of wood. From then on, the reader is treated to subjects such as the depredations of termites, wood construction and fire safety, the value and limitations of mechanical connectors, the use of timber trusses, the earthquake resistance of wooden structures, and the value of shop drawings in construction.
The branch-trunk junctions of living trees are an example of moment-resistant joints (Chapter 2, page 13 therein). A good tutorial on the flexure of a beam is provided in Chapter 5 (pp. 15-16 therein). A simple model, consisting of sheets of paper, illustrates how the layers of the beam variously go into compression, tension, and/or shear.
There is a chapter (Chapter 7) on traditional joinery, written by Ben Brungraber. The main focus is on mortise-tenon joinery. Chapter 15 discusses covered timber bridges, notably the Town lattice trusses. There is also information about a video on the construction of a modern Town-lattice-truss covered bridge. I have seen this video, and found it quite fascinating.
This is not an engineering book. There are only a few sections that are quantitative, and the mathematics used is straightforward and well-described.

Good technical book.
By Jayne
Good illustrations and very detailed. But there are some typographical errors which I am sure the typist does not realize, but it makes the math faulty. You have to pay attention.

Good for major construction
By C
This is a nice book for someone who is interested in the major construction of buildings with timbers. This is really geared towards architects and is a textbook, yet easy to read.
