Roofs represent the primal form of human dwellings, and wood continues to be of great importance as a material in roof structures at least in residential buildings. The third edition of this volume provides a tried and tested overview of common roofing construction systems used in old and new buildings, starting with the basics and moving on to special forms, dormers, and modern structural forms. In addition, it explains the principles of roof bracing and offers specific design suggestions. The book also includes chapters on as-built analysis and attic conversions. In this new edition, all chapters have been revised and updated, especially those on structural forms, connections, and hall structures.
