Abstract
The chances of timber engineering and of the use of timber as a load-bearing material depend on the quality criteria. The most important factor is the economical use of timber to increase its utilization in construction and make it competitive in comparison to other construction materials. Timber as a material for load-bearing constructions is an indicative orientation for the use of wood in further constructions. Therefore, all kinds of wood and timber, from round-wood to squared timber through composite sections made of boards and squared timber, as well as glue-laminated timber, plywood, etc, especially when combined with other materials, must be developed and employed.
