Structural Wood Design

Structural Wood Design: ASD/LRFD, 2nd Edition, is a textbook that provides practical guidance on timber design using Allowable Stress Design (ASD) and Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) methods. The text is grounded in the 2015 NDS and 2015 IBC model codes, incorporating examples based on real-world design problems.

Coverage focuses on primary structural components, framing assemblies, and structural systems subjected to vertical and lateral loads. The text addresses member design alongside horizontal diaphragms and shear walls, helping readers evaluate overall load behavior in wood buildings.

Featuring an enhanced student design project, the textbook supports coursework for students in civil, structural, construction engineering, engineering technology, and architecture programs, while also serving as a resource for practicing engineers.
