M TIMBER MISUNDERSTOOD Timber is the primary structural component for most historic structures in the United States and Canada. Although the structures might also include brick and stone masonry, iron, steel, or concrete, timber is often the most misunderstood construction material of all. Part of the misunderstanding lies in our educational system. Many structural engineers earn degrees in structural engineering without ever taking a course in timber design. It is unfortunate that in North America, with our tremendous stock of timber-framed buildings and our strong forest products industry, more structural engineering curricula do not include at least introductory courses in timber design.
