This state-of-the-art new edition of the field's leading text puts authoritative design guidance at your fingertips. The authors demonstrate all necessary steps and techniques, following the sequence of materials and elements in the order used in actual design. This trusted reference keeps you current with the latest codes and industry standards, and provides a large number of practical design examples.

Conforms to the 2006 International Building Code.
Addresses new 2005 NDS provisions, and combines dual-format ASD/LRFD specification, equations, and problems throughout.
Includes ASCE 7-05 load standard provisions.

Inside Design of Wood Structures ASD/LRFD, 6th Edition:

Wood Buildings and Design Criteria
Design Loads
Properties of Wood and Lumber Grades
Structural Glued Laminated Timber
Beam Design
Axial Forces and Combined Loading
Wood Structural Panels
Diaphragms
Shearwalls
Wood Connections
Nailed and Stapled Connections
Bolts, Lag Bolts, and Other Connectors

Design of Wood Structures ASD/LRFD, 6th Edition, will lead you through the complete design of a wood structure (except for the foundations). The sequence of material follows the same general order that is used in actual design:

Vertical design loads and lateral forces.
Design for vertical loads (beams and columns)
Design of lateral forces (horizontal diaphragms and shearwalls).
Connection design (including the overall tying together of the vertical and lateral force-resisting system).
