You first need to get the engineering data for structural members like wood that you're most likely to be using.
Steel is common, (AISC Steel Construction Manual), but Wood is sometimes difficult to obtain.
One scource that I know of for wood and composite members is Seele's Data Book For Civil Engineers Design, Wiley Pres.

There is a series of books by Harry Parker (John Wiley & Sons Publisher) that are good starter books. The one I have is called "Simlified Design of Structural Wood". Also check out the National Design Specification for Wood Construction (NDS) by the American Forest & Paper Association.
Many building codes (the Uniform Building Code) have numerous span tables for wood framing members.
