Jan 1, 1995 · Showing typical material properties and dimensions; modifiers, and structural reponses, it presents concise worked examples. Connections, an especially critical aspect of timber design, are thoroughly addressed. Relationships with other Eurocodes are explained, particularly those for EN 1990 Basis of Design.

In the Eurocode series of European standards (EN) related to construction, Eurocode 5: Design of timber structures (abbreviated EN 1995 or, informally, EC 5) describes how to design buildings and civil engineering works in timber, using the limit state design philosophy.

Engineers and architects can now specify using the CEN standards, under a common design approach that is set out in Eurocode 5 Design of Timber Structures, now an Irish standard.

Introducing the PD 6693-1:2025, a comprehensive standard that provides essential recommendations for the design of timber structures in accordance with Eurocode 5. This document is an indispensable resource for engineers, architects, and construction professionals who are involved in the design and construction of timber buildings.

Expected to remain current until at least 2028, the Manual provides guidance on the structural design of single-storey and medium-rise multi-storey buildings and supports the design of timber building structures to BS EN 1995-1-1 (Eurocode 5), together with its supporting codes and standards, within the UK.

BS EN 1995 has three parts covering common rules and rules for buildings, structural fire design and bridges. BS EN 1995 uses the limit state concept, unlike the former timber codes BS 5268 that use the permissible stress method. Although the former BSs are essentially a 'slide-rule' code, BS EN 1995 will require the designer to use software tools.

Showing typical material properties and dimensions; modifiers, and structural reponses, it presents concise worked examples. Connections, an especially critical aspect of timber design, are thoroughly addressed. Relationships with other Eurocodes are explained, particularly those for EN 1990 Basis of Design.

Written by leading experts in the field, including one of the authors of Eurocode 5, this practical book provides a comprehensive guide to the design of timber structures according to the latest European and UK standards.
