A new English guide to the performance and functional requirements of structures made from tropical woods has been published by the Association Technique Internationale des Bois Tropicaux (ATIBT).
This book is a reference document created for clients, architects, specifiers, and professionals who wish to integrate tropical wood into their work. A version that will specifically include Latin American woods is also in preparation.
The guide can be downloaded online here.
Benoit Jobbé-Duval, Directeur Général of ATIBT, said: “We hope that this guide will be useful for promoting tropical timber.”
