CE Marking of Structural Timber: the European Standardization Framework and its Effects on Italian Manufacturers

Structural timber has been used for centuries in construction and represents a traditional building component in many countries of the European Union. Nowadays, the interest in its use has been renewed due to several factors such as: ease of processing, relative lightness, mechanical performance, su...
