Overview
Main description
A concise, practical guide to structural design using steel, masonry, and timber
Structural Design of Low-Rise Building in Cold-Formed Steel Reinforced Masonry, and Structural Timber authoritatively covers the primary aspects of structural design of low-rise buildings in the most common materials—cold-formed steel, reinforced masonry, and structural timber. Cold-formed steel was recently added to the NCEES (National Council of Examiners for Engineering and Surveying) structural exams, and this book also serves as a complete Professional Engineer/Structural Engineer exam study guide.
Structural Design of Low-Rise Building in Cold-Formed Steel Reinforced Masonry, and Structural Timber
- Discusses concepts associated with day-to-day design
- Covers Steel Joist Institute (SJI) open-web joist systems
- Includes the most recent changes in fundamental code requirements pertaining to structural timber, reinforced masonry, and cold-formed steel
- Addresses loading requirements for low-rise buildings
- Presents the most important code changes pertaining to IBC-based design of structural masonry, cold-formed steel, and structural timber/wood
