National Design Specification for Wood Construction (NDS 2005)
2005 | ISBN: T101 05 | PDF | 1000 pages | 43 MB
Provides a design example, typical checklist, and background information related to design of a wood frame structure in accordance with AF&PA’s Wood Frame Construction Manual (WFCM) for One- and Two- Family Dwellings, 2005 Edition. The design example uses plans from a two-story residence as the basis for a structural design to resist wind, seismic and snow loads.
This volume include the code-recognized National Design Specification (NDS) for Wood Construction (2005 Edition).
The National Design Specification for Wood Construction brings together all required
elements for design of wood structures in one comprehensive document. It includes design information and examples for wind
and seismic conditions, sawn lumber, structural glued laminated timber, structural-use panels, shear walls and diaphragms,
poles and piles, I-joists, structural composite lumber, structural connections (nails, bolts, screws), metal plate connected
wood trusses, and pre-engineered metal connectors.
