In its seventh edition, this comprehensive resource has been thoroughly revised to incorporate the latest codes and standards, guiding readers through the complete design process of wood structures in a sequence mirroring real-world design practices. Throughout the text, detailed equations, clear illustrations, and practical design examples are provided to enhance understanding.
Key features of this new edition include:
– Alignment with the 2012 International Building Code (IBC) standards.
– Coverage of the new 2012 National Design Specification for Wood Construction (NDS).
– Integration of dual-format Allowable Stress Design/Load and Resistance Factor Design (ASD/LRFD) specifications, equations, and problem-solving approaches.
– Inclusion of ASCE/SEI 7-10 load provisions.
Topics covered in Design of Wood Structures–ASD/LRFD, Seventh Edition, include:
– Wood buildings and design criteria.
– Design loads and factors affecting structural behavior under loads and forces.
– Properties of wood and lumber grades, including structural glued laminated timber.
– Design considerations for beams, axial forces, combined loading, and wood structural panels.
– Diaphragms and shearwalls, including wood connections and fastening methods.
– Advanced topics in lateral force design, with a focus on diaphragm-to-shearwall anchorage and other connection details and hardware.
