Abstract
In timber construction, new and advantageous solutions characterise the formation and arrangement of the layers of the building envelope in the technical sense. Similarly, a re-orientation is evident in the different loadbearing systems, and hence the ac-tual timber construction systems. Figs. b1 to b7 provide a pictorial overview of the most common systems, which are illustrated and described individually in the subsequent chapters b3 to b8.
