Wood Structure Stability Analysis Tool
The Large Wood Structure Stability
Analysis Tool is a comprehensive and flexible Microsoft Excel spreadsheet which
can be used to efficiently evaluate and optimize design options, such as the
size and species of wood, structure configurations, and anchor
requirements. The Companion Paper
summarizes the design rationale, methodologies, procedure, limitations, and
example applications to illustrate how the tool can be used to design stable
structures.
