Design of Wood Structures- ASD/LRFD

Design of Wood Structures- ASD/LRFD, 8th Edition, is a technical reference that guides professionals through the complete design of a wood structure. The volume organizes structural engineering principles in the sequence used during the actual design and construction process.

The text addresses primary design criteria, structural loads, and the fundamental behavior of wood structures under forces. It also reviews wood material properties, lumber grades, and structural glued laminated timber.

Conforming to the 2018 International Building Code (IBC) and the 2018 National Design Specification for Wood Construction (NDS), the volume provides practical design examples, clear illustrations, and detailed equations.
