DESCRIPTION:
Fairly Comprehensive of BASICS, however sorely lacking in good examples. This book is the required textbook for my timber design course in college, and it does indeed provide the basics needed to address the design of simple structures. The only issue with the book is that the examples cover only the basics with its examples. Anyone who has ever actually done real design would be able to do the example problems from scratch by just looking through the NDS for a few minutes. In order to make this book truly useful, it n. "The Most Connon typ of Construction" according to John Matlock. Now in it's sixth edition, this book has become the standard text on the design and construction of buildings made of wood. While most wooden structures are residences, the book also covers multi story wooden structures such as apartment houses, commercial buildings with wooden roofs, and to a limited extent newer techniques such as glue-laminate beams.The book is suitable for use either as a text for a course or as a reference for self study. The. "Great text" according to Pherrgie. We used this in our Timber Design class and it was fantastic. It covers both ASD and LRFD effectively. We also used the NDS as a course supplement in order to find stress values and other important design factors that are not in the textbook. Another supplement that would help is the Minimum Design Loads for Buildings And Other Structures (ASCE 7-05). All in all, a great textbook for students or reference guide for any practicing professionals.
