Structural Wood Design: A Practice-Oriented Approach
John Wiley and Sons Ltd, Aug 2007, Pages: 416
This book takes a practical, design-oriented and code-based approach to designing wood structures. Taking an integrative view of structures, the book strives to present structural components and members in the context of the entire building, such that the foundation, walls, beams and roof all work together in providing strength. This is in contrast to existing books where the components are presented in an isolated framework. The book provides dozens of practical, worked examples useful for instructing students on the fundamentals while also serving as design aids for professional engineers working on real-world projects.
