Fifth Edition, McGraw-Hill, 2003, 1034 pages
This is the classic text on wood design updated to include the latest codes and data. It reflects the most recent provisions of the 2003 Inteational Building Code and 2001 National Design Specification for Wood Construction. Continuing the sterling standard set by earlier editions, this indispensable reference clearly explains the best wood design techniques for the safe handling of gravity and lateral loads. Carefully revised and updated to include the new 2003 Inteational Building Code, ASCE 7-02 Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and Other Structures, the 2001 National Design Specification for Wood Construction, and the most recent Allowable Stress Design codes, this best-seller gives practicing designers of wood structures, construction professionals, and students, step-by-step directions and illustrations for all relevant procedures.The authors also include the latest information on wind and seismic loads, and provide expert coverage of essential topics such as: Design loads; Behavior of structures under loads and forces; Properties of wood and lumber grades; Beam design; Axial forces; Plywood and other structural use panels; Horizontal diaphragms; Shearwalls; Wood connections; Connection hardware; Nailed and stapled connections; and much more. The hands-down leading reference in lateral force design, this Fifth Edition of "Design of Wood Structures - ASD" offers an unmatched level of excellence.
