Excellent wood design reference
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
I bought this book for an independent study course in wood design while obtaining a MS in Civil Engineering. The book is well organized, does an excellent job of explaining the hows and whys of wood design and provides excellent design examples. I would highly recommend it. To get the most of this book, you should also have a copy of the IBC, ASCE 7, and the Wood Council codes.
Design of Wood Structures - ASD
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
A great reference for both wood structural design, and basic structural design in general. Excellent discussion/explanation of Wind/Seismic per IBC/ASCE 7-02. Very clear examples of diaphragm and shear wall behavior. One of the most well written engineering texts available.
Taking the California PE?
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
This book is gives a good grasp of seismic design for wood structures. Many of the examples especially near the end are good practice for the Californa PE Special Seismic Exam design questions. It gives a good grasp of how seismic forces move through a building and how to calculate those forces at various locations.
The standard reference for NDS wood design
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
This book is the best reference I've seen for NDS wood design. I found it very useful when I was first learning wood design. It gives a good discussion of most aspects of wood design. The latest edition even covers aspects of the newer industry trends (flexible diaphragm analysis and engineered wood products).
