Description
Design of Wood Structures: ASD/LRFD, Eighth Edition is the definitive resource for structural engineers and architects designing wood buildings and components. This comprehensive textbook covers both Allowable Stress Design (ASD) and Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) methodologies, providing readers with current code requirements and practical design applications.
The eighth edition has been thoroughly updated to reflect the latest National Design Specification (NDS) and International Building Code (IBC) standards. Topics include wood material properties, connection design, beam and column analysis, lateral load resistance, and wood-based composite materials. Each chapter includes worked examples and problems that reinforce key concepts and design procedures.
Authored by recognized experts Donald E. Breyer, Kelly E. Cobeen, and Zeno Martin, this text is essential for students, practicing engineers, and anyone involved in wood structure design. The clear explanations, detailed illustrations, and real-world applications make complex design principles accessible and practical.
