Summary

Finger-jointed timber is in common use for timber framed housing. This paper deals with acceptance and application of finger-joints in load-carrying members of roofs, floors and wall framing as well as non-structural use for panelling and cladding. Current use in Scandinavia and Norway in particular is reviewed, and some future trends are discussed.
