Simplified Design of Structural Wood

By Harry Parker

Book Overview

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.
