9 PREFACE The primary audience for this book are students of civil and architectural engineering, civil and construction engineering technology, and architecture in a typical undergraduate course in wood or timber design. The book can be used for a one-semester course in structural wood or timber design and should prepare students to apply the fundamentals of structural wood design to typical projects that might occur in practice. The practice-oriented and easy-to-follow but thorough approach to design that is adopted, and the many practical examples applicable to typical everyday projects that are presented, should also make the book a good resource for practicing engineers, architects, and builders and those preparing for professional licensure exams. The book conforms to the 2005 National Design Specification for Wood Construction, and is intended to provide the essentials of structural design in wood from a practical perspective and to bridge the gap between the design of individual wood structural members and the complete design of a wood structure, thus providing a holistic approach to structural wood design. Other unique features of this book include a discussion and description of common wood structural elements and systems that introduce the reader to wood building structures, a complete wood building design case study, the design of wood floors for vibrations, the general analysis of shear walls for overturning, including all applicable loads, the many three- and two-dimensional drawings and illustrations to assist readers understanding of the concepts, and the easy-to-use design aids for the quick design of common structural members, such as floor joists, columns, and wall studs. Chapter 1 The reader is introduced to wood design through a discussion and description of the various wood structural elements and systems that occur in wood structures as well as the properties of wood that affect its structural strength. Chapter 2 The various structural loads dead, live, snow, wind, and seismic are discussed and several examples are presented. This succinct treatment of structural loads gives the reader adequate information to calculate the loads acting on typical wood building structures. Chapter 3 Calculation of the allowable stresses for both sawn lumber and glulam in accordance with the 2005 National Design Specification as well as a discussion of the various stress adjustment factors are presented in this chapter. Glued laminated timber (glulam), the various grades of glulam, and determination of the controlling load combination in a wood building using the normalized load method are also discussed. Chapter 4 The design and analysis of joists, beams, and girders are discussed and several examples are presented. The design of wood floors for vibrations, miscellaneous stresses in wood members, the selection of preengineered wood flexural members, and the design of sawn-lumber decking are also discussed. xi

10 xii P R E F A C E Chapter 5 The design of wood members subjected to axial and bending loads, such as truss web and chord members, solid and built-up columns, and wall studs, is discussed. Chapter 6 The design of roof and floor sheathing for gravity loads and the design of roof and floor diaphragms for lateral loads are discussed. Calculation of the forces in diaphragm chords and drag struts is also discussed, as well as the design of these axially loaded elements. Chapter 7 The design of exterior wall sheathing for wind load perpendicular to the face of a wall and the design of wood shear walls or vertical diaphragms parallel to the lateral loads are discussed. A general analysis of shear walls for overturning that takes into account all applicable lateral and gravity loads is presented. The topic of combined shear and uplift in wall sheathing is also discussed, and an example presented. Chapter 8 The design of connections is covered in this chapter in a simplified manner. Design examples are presented to show how the connection capacity tables in the NDS code are used. Several practical connections and practical connection considerations are discussed. Chapter 9 A complete building design case study is presented to help readers tie together the pieces of wood structural element design presented in earlier chapters to create a total building system design, and a realistic set of structural plans and details are also presented. This holistic and practice-oriented approach to structural wood design is the hallmark of the book. The design aids presented in Appendix B for the quick design of floor joists, columns, and wall studs subjected to axial and lateral loads are utilized in this chapter. In conclusion, we would like to offer the following personal dedications and thanksgiving: To my wife, Josie, the love of my life and the apple of my eye, and to my precious children, Osa, Itohan, Odosa, and Eghosa, for their support and encouragement. To my mother for instilling in me the discipline of hard work and excellence, and to my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, for His grace, wisdom, and strength.
