Designed so that professionals can create the structural calculation package and the detailing as quickly and economically as possible. Contains 239 representative drawings, each one on a separate page that includes a description, a checklist summarizing the detail and a small plan view which suggests the location on the structural drawing where the detail can be applied. An accompanying disk in CAD format allows users to import the details and customize them to their needs. In addition, every drawing is saved in a separate file in .DXF format that can be loaded into most CAD software programs and modified, plotted or printed as needed.

Structural Wood Detailing in CAD Format is a reference library for wood building construction. Engineers, architects, and contractors will find the book useful for daily use and practice. It provides structural details for building, which is a major factor in building design. Using a library of standard details saves much of the engineering time and money which was spent drawing the same details many times. This structural wood detailing book covers the two most important forces: vertical and lateral forces. For each detail the lateral resistance was carefully considered. The details have been created using professional experience to maintain economical construction costs and to create safe buildings. The book is divided into three major sections -ROOF, FLOOR, and FOUNDATION. The details in each chapter are further categorized by connections. For example, in the ROOF chapter there is a set of details for rafters connected to shear walls, another set for beams connected to posts or columns, and another set for hips connected to ridge beams. This method of dividing the chapters helps the user to become easily familiar with this reference book. Some of the details are combinations of wood and steel, or wood and masonry, or wood and wood. We have provided each detail on an 8-1/2 x 11 sheet. Each sheet contains the drawing itself, a description of the detail, a check list which summarizes the detail, and a small plan view which suggests the location on the structural drawing where the detail can be applied.

A practical reference library providing structural details for wood building construction, for engineers, architects, and contractors. The approximately 220 representative drawings span the three major areas of roof, floor, and foundation detailing. Every drawing has been created with CAD software a

This highly illustrated manual provides practical guidance on structural steelwork detailing. It: · describes the common structural shapes in use and how they are joined to form members and complete structures · explains detailing practice and conventions · provides detailing data for standard sections, bolts and welds · emphasises the importance of tolerances in order to achieve proper site fit-up · discusses the important link between good detailing and construction costs Examples of structures include single and multi-storey buildings, towers and bridges. The detailing shown will be suitable in principle for fabrication and erection in many countries, and the sizes shown will act as a guide to preliminary design. The third edition has been revised to take account of the new Eurocodes on structural steel work, together with their National Annexes. The new edition also takes account of developments in 3-D modelling techniques and it includes more CAD standard library details.

This book consists of the papers presented at the First World Conference on Constructional Steel Design held in Acapulco, Mexico, December 1992. The Conference provided a forum for presentation and discussion by designers and research workers involved with steel construction.
