Steel moment frames in a wood structure
Steel moment frames in a wood structure
(OP)
I am doing the structural calcs for a house that is extremely irregular in shape and has too many windows for my liking. I am considering recommending the use of steel columns and moment frames but I am totally unfamiliar with the details of combining wood and steel as far as connections and especially with regard to differential thermal expansion and contraction. The temperatures in this area can vary from -25F to upper the 90's. A good reference book would be a real help. Naturally the owner hired a contractor before getting any permits so time pressures are not just crucial but more like ridiculous.
Thanks,
