Description
Virtually every question on designing wood structures and wood components is answered in this massive, one-stop resource. Revised to include the 1997 National Design Specifications (NDS) for wood construction, it discusses the basic engineering properties of wood and provides design procedures, design equations, and many examples, many of which are updated to reflect changes in Allowable Stress Design (ASD). 340 illus.
