Timber Design Self-Study
Timber Design Self-Study
(OP)
Hi all,
I've been browsing this forum for a couple of years and I've finally decided to join. I'm a structural engineering student and I want to learn timber or wood design. What book do you guys recommend me? I live in California and every where you look you see residential buildings with timber structures.
Any input would be highly appreciated.
Thanks,
AriStructural

I also highly recommend getting a summer job framing houses as the knowledge gained from that is immeasurable when it comes to making constructable details.

I really don't want to start a new thread for another question, but any suggestion for foundation design books?
