DESCRIPTION:
"practical design reference" according to William Everhart. In 2007, I used this text for a timber design class. As an engineering student with a background in residential construction, I found the text to be very practical in its presentation of the design process for wood-framed structures. Following the examples and working through the problems at the end of each chapter, I became comfortable finding and using relevant codes, especially NDS codes. The progression of the text to the bui. Jennie E. Wilson said Excellent Learning Guide and Reference Material. I just recently took a Timber Design class and this book really helped me grasp the overall concept of Timber Design. With having no experience with timber design, the book's sequence is excellent with helping the reader develop and understand the reasoning behind this type of structural design.The examples in this book are great. They are not standard textbook examples, which lack real design concepts. This book goes above and b. Comprehensive and Practical Wood Design Approach Howster The first item I noticed in reading through this book was the practical design guidance an individual with wood design experience under their belt or someone at university learning it for the first time would be able to pick up and gain a common sense understanding of wood engineering. Every engineering book has its place, this book does and it should be on your desk ready for reference.Dr. Aghayere and Jason Vigil give you one o

Structural Wood Design: A Practice-Oriented Approach Using the ASD Method offers an integrative approach to structural wood design that considers the design of the individual wood members in the context of the complete wood structure so that all of the structural components and connectors work together in providing strength. From the Back CoverA simple, practical, and concise guide to timber designTo fully understand structural design in wood, it is not sufficient to consider the individual components in isolation.
