STRUCTURAL WOOD DESIGN

Features A learner-centered textbook, easy-to-understand, bridging the gap between theory and structural engineering practice Rich in examples to the ASD and LRFD methods A careful selection of topics, including some easily overlooked such as framing systems Includes standard load tables for the selection of pre-engineered lumber and connectors With sample drawings, drawing notes, and specifications, to suit practice as well as learning Summary This text provides a concise and practical guide to timber design, using both the Allowable Stress Design and the Load and Resistance Factor Design methods. It suits students in civil, structural, and construction engineering programs as well as engineering technology and architecture programs, and also serves as a valuable resource for the practicing engineer. The examples based on real-world design problems reflect a holistic view of the design process that better equips the reader for timber design in practice.
