      abstract = {This volume presents a history of heavy timber  construction (HTC) in the United States, chronicling nearly  two centuries of building history, from inception to a  detailed evaluation of one of the best surviving examples  of the type, with an emphasis on fire resistance. The book  does not limit itself in scope to serving only as a common  history. Rather, it provides critical analysis of HTC in  terms of construction methods, design, technical  specifications, and historical performance under fire  conditions. As such, this book provides readers with a  truly comprehensive understanding and exploration of heavy  timber construction in the United States and its  performance under fire conditions.},
