Description

This book features the most current design standards for the wood industry. Load and resistance factor design (LRFD) methods are being used for design analysis to relate more effectively to computer--aided design (CAD) methods. The focus on CAD design systems have become generally accepted, and their impact on design processes are addressed in this book.

Table of Contents

Structural Uses of Wood. Design Methods. Structural Investigation. Design Data and Criteria. Properties of Sections. Beam Functions. Behavior of Beams. Design of Beams. Wood Decks. Wood Columns. Framing Fasteners and Accessories. Trusses. Laminated Products. Miscellaneous Wood Structure. Wood Structures for Lateral Bracing. Building Design Examples. References. Study Aids. Index.

Description

The wood industry has recently made significant changes in its design standards. LRFD (load and resistance factor design) methods are being used for design analysis to relate more effectively to CAD design methods. CAD design systems have become generally accepted, and their impact on design processes needs to be addressed. This text develops the topic of the design of wooden structures for buildings using current industry products and standards and accepted construction practices. It is heavily illustrated, with many examples of design and investigation of ordinary elements and systems for building structures.
