Synopsis

The revised and enlarged edition of this successful book, intended for readers with limited training in mathematics and engineering analysis, covers the most common and frequently encountered problems relating to design of structural components and systems of structural wood for building structures. Thoroughly updated to reflect the latest standards, this edition includes two completely new chapters on wood-framed diaphragms and building design examples. New material also includes coverage of pole structures, joints using nails and screws, mechanically driven fasteners, plywood gussets, manufactured trusses, and wood fiber products. English units are used throughout, but SI equivalents are also provided. The previous edition of this book was published in 1979.

A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture

Newly updated the most accessible, thorough introduction to the basics of wood structure design

No architect′s education would be complete without a basic understanding of how structures respond to the action of forces and how these forces affect the performance of various building material (wood, steel, concrete, etc.). In continuous publication for over sixty years, this standard guide to structural design with wood has now been updated to include current design practices, standards, and consideration of new wood products.

Written to be easily understood by readers with limited experience in engineering mechanics, structural analysis, or advanced mathematics, the book now features:

• Consideration of the LRFD method of structural design in addition to the ASD method

• Updated coverage conforming to current building codes, design practices, and industry standards

• Expanded treatment of wood products beyond sawn lumber

• More examples and a wider sweep of systems and products

Equally suited to classroom use or independent study, Simplified Design of Wood Structures, Sixth Edition stands as a valuable resource that no architect or builder should be without.

The Parker/Ambrose Series of Simplified Design Guides has been providing simple, concise solutions to common structural and environmental design problems for more than seven decades.
