Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Moving from steel or concrete into glued-laminated timber, cross-laminated timber, or other engineered wood systems, many structural engineers discover that familiar intuition does not transfer cleanly. Wood behaves differently depending on the direction of the grain, connections often govern a design more than the members themselves, and if your work also touches the European Eurocode 5 framework, two code systems describe overlapping ideas with different symbols and non-interchangeable numbers.Most engineers meet engineered wood construction through scattered manufacturer literature and isolated code sections, one project at a time, without ever walking a complete design sequence from material behavior through connections to whole-building performance. Cross-grain behavior, fastener group action, capacity-design ductility requirements, and diaphragm classification are each easy to get partly right - and partly right is often exactly what fails a peer review or an inspection.This handbook closes that gap. Across twenty chapters and five parts, it works through structural timber design in project order - material behavior and the ASD/LRFD load framework, glulam and CLT member design, dowel-type fastener and connection design, lateral systems and diaphragms, and fire-resistance and durability detailing for exposed mass timber - with a Eurocode 5 comparison in every chapter. Each chapter follows one structure: learning objectives, a worked numerical example, a "Mistake Autopsy" built from a realistic documented error, a field-scenario capstone, and practice problems with answers - plus eight reference appendices (design values, section properties, fastener capacities, a Eurocode/US symbol cross-reference) for ongoing use.Working through this handbook, you will be able to: Apply reference design values and adjustment factors for sawn lumber, glulam, and CLT correctly, including load-duration, wet-service, and stability factors that are frequently misappliedDesign a dowel-type fastener connection from first principles, from single-fastener yield theory through multi-fastener group effects and brittle tear-out checks a simplified table can missEvaluate proprietary connector hardware for evaluation-report currency, rather than assuming a published capacity still appliesDesign and verify diaphragms and lateral force-resisting systems - shear walls, braced and moment frames, and CLT panel systems - with capacity-based ductile detailingAddress fire-resistance design for exposed mass timber and the durability/moisture detailing that protects connections and long-term performanceSet a US-code calculation next to its Eurocode 5 counterpart and see where the two frameworks agree in principle and differ in numberKey topics include material behavior, glulam beam and column design, CLT panel design, bearing and serviceability, dowel-type fastener theory, proprietary connector selection, lateral-system and diaphragm design, fire-resistant mass timber design, durability and moisture management, and four case studies carrying a design from concept to connection detail.Written for practicing structural engineers needing a fast, code-grounded reference; engineers-in-training who need a design problem worked step by step; and advanced students meeting engineered wood construction as its own discipline. It assumes familiarity with basic wood-frame construction and does not re-teach platform-framing fundamentals. Like any reference, it supports - and does not replace - a licensed engineer's independent review, the locally adopted code edition, and current manufacturer documentation.Add this practical, code-grounded reference to your library and start working through the design and det Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Given a load, a duty cycle, and a real set of constraints, which mechanical component actually belongs in this design - and how is it sized Most references answer only half of that question. A fastener handbook or a bearing catalog gives you sizing data for one component family and stops there. A machine-design textbook derives the underlying physics in careful detail but often leaves the actual selection decision to you.This handbook is organized the other way around. Twenty chapters, each covering one mechanical component family end to end, so the same design logic and level of practical detail carries across every one - and any single chapter can be read standalone whenever that component family is the one you need today.Inside, you'll- Classify a load as static, cyclic, or impact, and choose the correct failure theory and factor of safety to match it- Run fatigue and life-prediction calculations using the Marin equation and Goodman/Gerber/Soderberg mean-stress corrections, and apply tolerancing, fits, and GD&T with real stack-up analysis- Size threaded fasteners for preload and fatigue, welded and adhesive joints, and a rotating shaft under combined bending and torsion checked against critical speed- Select and size gears (Lewis equation), belt and chain drives, clutches and brakes, rolling-element bearings (L10 life), and plain bearings (PV limit)- Design springs (Wahl-factor-corrected stress), seals and O-rings, linear guides and ball/lead screws, pressure vessels and piping, and structural weldment frames - closing with vibration isolation and reliability calculationsEvery worked example runs in US customary units first, with SI equivalents alongside. Every chapter includes a 'Mistake Autopsy' built around one specific, plausible way that component actually fails in practice, a 'Field Capstone' that pulls several of the chapter's ideas together the way a real assignment would, and practice problems with worked answers you can check your own calculation against. Nine appendices - fastener tables, material properties, bearing life data, standard fits, spring charts, unit conversions, a safety-factor quick-reference, a master formula sheet, and a glossary - keep you from hunting back through a chapter mid-calculation.This is a reference built for the moment an engineer needs to move from 'which component' to 'sized, specified, and documented,' and for a student who wants worked, verified problems to check their own work against.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - A cabinet build only goes as smoothly as its worst-documented step - and most kitchen cabinetmaking books leave the tolerances, the failure modes, and the pricing math for you to find out the hard way.This 462-page handbook is built around the two systems that actually run North American kitchen cabinetry - traditional face-frame construction and 32mm-system frameless - and every discipline that connects them into one coherent shop process: measurement, shop drawings and cut lists, joinery, hardware, finishing, installation, and estimating.Every build chapter follows the same shop discipline: a tools and materials list, a cut/detail list, the critical dimensions and tolerances that actually matter, numbered build phases, a troubleshooting table, and a named Mistake Autopsy - a real failure mode with its root cause, not a generic warning. Worked examples show real numbers throughout: a 32mm hole-line layout on a 762mm panel, a 1.5-inch scribe filler calculated against a masonry chimney wall, a floating door panel sized with a 1/4-inch movement allowance, and - in the estimating chapter - the difference between margin and markup, shown against a real $10,000 cost base where a misapplied markup quietly shorts the job by over $1,800.What's inside- Six parts: Design & Planning, Engineering & Shop Drawings, Fabrication, Rough-In/Hardware/Finishing, Installation & Business, and Field Reference- Full build sequences for face-frame and frameless carcasses, door and drawer-front fitting, hardware boring and adjustment, HVLP spray finishing, installation leveling and scribing, and countertop trim-out- A full estimating, bidding, and project-management chapter with labor benchmarks and a worked project estimate- A field-reference chapter organized by diagnostic symptom, not just by topic- Eight appendices: dimension and clearance reference, hardware specification reference, wood species and sheet-good reference, finish schedule reference, glossary, metric conversion reference, and a standards/codes/estimating reference, plus blank field templates for measurement, cut lists, and estimating worksheetsKey topicsFace-frame vs. frameless engineering, the 32mm system, shop drawing and cut-list conventions, hardware specification and adjustment, HVLP finishing, installation leveling and scribing, estimating and margin math, field diagnosis and troubleshooting.Who this is forThe intermediate-to-professional kitchen cabinetmaker - a shop-trained apprentice moving into independent work, a tradesperson expanding from general woodworking into production kitchen cabinetry, or an established shop standardizing its own internal training. It assumes real shop experience; it is not a first woodworking book.Open to any chapter and you're working from the same reference a production cabinet shop would build its own training around - the tolerances, the failure modes, and the numbers included.…
