		+	These achievements would not have been possible without the introduction of Engineered Wood Products (EWP) in the arena of timber materials in order to overcome the natural limits of timber as a structural material. Early use of EWP like glulaminated timber (glulam) in structure is for instance visible at the railway station in Stockholm, which has been standing for more than 80 years. Since the beginning of the 1960’s, researches have been carried out in order to reintroduce timber as a competitive material in structural design. A further step in increasing the mechanical properties of glulam was to reinforce it with stronger or stiffer materials. Wandgaard (1964) used metallic plate, and reported positive results.

	Timber post and beam construction is a building method that comprises vertical structural posts and horizontal beams, jointed to form a structural frame into which walls are ‘placed’. As this frame is structural, and carrying the roof load, the number of interior walls can be reduced, making it suitable for creating open plan spaces.
