THE DEFINITIVE WOOD STRUCTURE DESIGN GUIDE -- FULLY UPDATED

Thoroughly revised to incorporate the latest codes and standards, the seventh edition of this comprehensive resource leads you through the complete design of a wood structure following the same sequence of materials and elements used in actual design. Detailed equations, clear illustrations, and practical design examples are featured throughout the text.

THIS NEW EDITION:

• Conforms to the 2012 International Building Code (IBC)
• Addresses the new 2012 National Design Specification for Wood Construction (NDS)
• Contains dual-format Allowable Stress Design/Load and Resistance Factor Design (ASD/LRFD) specifications, equations, and problems
• Includes ASCE/SEI 7-10 load provisions
