Inhaltsangabe

The wood industry has recently made significant changes in its design standards. LRFD (load and resistance factor design) methods are being used for design analysis to relate more effectively to CAD design methods. CAD design systems have become generally accepted, and their impact on design processes needs to be addressed. This text develops the topic of the design of wooden structures for buildings using current industry products and standards and accepted construction practices. It is heavily illustrated, with many examples of design and investigation of ordinary elements and systems for building structures.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

Solid, accessible coverage of the basics of wood structure design.

This invaluable guide provides a complete and practical introduction to the design of wood structures for buildings. Written to be easily understood by readers with limited experience in engineering mechanics, structural analysis, or advanced mathematics, the book includes:

• A comprehensive review of structural properties, including density, elasticity, defects, lumber gradings, and use classification.
• A straightforward discussion of design methods and criteria—stress, strength, design values, loading, bracing, and more.
• Extensive material on wood sections, from beam functions, behavior, and design to wood decks and wood columns.
• Information based on current industry standards and construction practices.
• Many building design examples, plus helpful study aids and references.

Equally suited to classroom use or independent study, Simplified Design of Wood Structures, Fifth Edition is a superb resource for aspiring and practicing architects and engineers.
