I will design timber or wood structures

The design of timber or wood structures involves the analysis, sizing, and detailing of structural elements made from natural or engineered wood to safely resist applied loads. This process includes the design of beams, columns, trusses, floors, roofs, and connections using timber materials such as solid wood, glulam, LVL, and cross-laminated timber (CLT).

Timber structure design considers material properties, load combinations, serviceability limits (deflection and vibration), strength, stability, durability, and fire performance. Designs are carried out in accordance with relevant design codes and standards (such as Eurocode 5, NDS, or national building codes) to ensure safety, efficiency, and constructability.

Modern timber design often uses structural analysis and design software to model behavior under gravity, wind, and seismic loads, and to produce accurate calculations, drawings, and documentation for construction.
