Structural Wood Design
Description
The book includes Practical, design-oriented examples of real-world projects designed by the authors ;Includes references to current NDS-2005 and IBC codes ;Integrative perspective on design shows components in context with connections and the rest of the structure and covers commercial products such as header products and steel connectors
The book presents the design process for wood structures in a quick and simple way, yet thoroughly enough to cover the analysis and design of the major structural elements. In general, building plans and details are defined by an architect and are usually given to a structural engineer for design of structural elements and to present the design in the form of structural drawings. In this book we take a project-based approach covering the design process that a structural engineer would go through for a typical wood-framed structure. Wood is nature’s most abundant renewable building material and a widely used structural material in the United States, where more than 80% of all buildings are of wood construction.
