Product Review Summary: Great book on wood design Current with codes, in depth discussions and a lot of examples! It is a great book.
Product Review Summary: 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 needs to incorporate examples that are comparable to real world problems, like how to design an eccentrically loaded bolt group, something very common in heavy truss connections. Furthermore, not a single equation is numbered or labeled in any way which make the examples fairly difficult to follow if you don't already know the code (ASCE 7-05) fairly well.
My point is this:
Yes, this is a good book, but come on people it's not that great, a modest 3 star review is the best I can give this book.
Product Review Summary: Great book Needed this book for a class and it would have ost $50 MORE if I bought it from our bookstore...
Product Review Summary: Great text 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.
Product Review Summary: great The book came in great condition, looked like it hadn't even been opened. Very fast delivery. smooth transaction
