This volume presents a§history of heavy timber construction (HTC) in the United States, chronicling§nearly two centuries of building history, from inception to a detailed evaluation§of one of the best surviving examples of the type, with an emphasis on fire§resistance. The book does not limit itself in scope to serving only as a common§history. Rather, it provides critical analysis of HTC in terms of construction§methods, design, technical specifications, and historical performance under§fire conditions. As such, this book provides readers with a truly comprehensive§understanding and exploration of heavy timber construction in the United States§and its performance under fire conditions.§
