The leading wood design reference—thoroughly revised with the latest codes and data


Fully updated to cover the latest techniques and standards, the eighth edition of this comprehensive resource leads you through the complete design of a wood structure following the same sequence used in the actual design/construction process. Detailed equations, clear illustrations, and practical design examples are featured throughout the text. This up-to-date edition conforms to both the 2018 International Building Code (IBC) and the 2018 National Design Specification for Wood Construction (NDS).


Design of Wood Structures-ASD/LRFD, Eighth Edition, covers:
Wood buildings and design criteria
Design loads
Behavior of structures under loads and forces
Properties of wood and lumber grades
Structural glued laminated timber
Beam design and wood structural panels
Axial forces and combined loading
Diaphragms and shearwalls
Wood and nailed connections
