Abstract
Timber column design methods have now to take account of a body of research work on timber properties from in-grade tests and on strength considerations using notions of stressed volume. This paper gathers results from this body of work and proposes a design formula for timber columns which is convenient to use and represents true behaviour. It includes, in particular, a material strength effect related to the length of the column. The proposed formula has been incorporated into the new Canadian code “Engineering design in wood.” Key words: timber, buckling, columns, design, size effects.
