Publisher Information
BM TRADA
BM TRADA originates from the 1930s when a forerunner of what later became the Timber Research and Development Association (TRADA) was set up to promote the use of wood in construction. Their publishing programme delivered an extensive range of timber information - Eurocode 5 guidance, span tables, Wood Information Sheets and technical manuals on timber structures, characteristics, performance aspects such as fire and durability, and common applications. BM TRADA timber publications are no longer maintained following the closure of BM TRADA's publishing operation on 31 December 2024.
