7. Design calculation rules
For a long time, the CB71 rules were the only calculation methods applicable to the design of timber structures, in order to provide a degree of safety appropriate to their purpose and duration. In simple terms, these rules defined an overall safety coefficient.
Since 2005, Eurocode 5 (or NF EN 1995) is in theory the only applicable normative document for the design and dimensioning of timber structures
It is the use of these partial safety coefficients applied to materials and actions on the...
