This book was released on 1993 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Durability design methods used in Australia are generally uncoordinated and do not meet the changing needs of durability engineers. Durability design principles, environmental agents and the existing methods are summarised. An alternative method is proposed to allow engineers to reliably estimate the effect of environmental agents on the strengh and stiffness of timber members and joints. A Durability Coordinators Group is recommended to facilitate further debate.
