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