DOWNLOAD EBOOKSummary: This is a guide to framing any gable, Dutch, Tudor, California, gambrel, shed, or gazebo roof -- including irregular roofs that can stump even experienced roof cutters. This book takes you through every measurement and every cut on each type of roof so you can understand exactly what's required. The author explains how to use an inexpensive hand-held calculator to figure any common, hip, valley, or jack rafter length in seconds -- including rafters on irregular roofs and rafter pitches or lengths that aren't in any rafter table.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKI I This book is intended to guide practicing structural engineers into more profitable routine designs with the AISC Load and Resistance Factor Design Specification (LRFD) for structural steel buildings. LRFD is a method of proportioning steel structures so that no applica ble limit state is exceeded when the structure is subjected to all appro priate factored load combinations. Strength limit states are related to safety, and concern maximum load carrying capacity, Serviceability limit states are related to performance under service load conditions such as deflections. The term "resistance" includes both strength states and serviceability limit states. LRFD is a new approach to the design of structural steel for buildings. It involves explicit consideration of limit states, multiple load factors and resistance factors, and implicit probabilistic determination of relia bility. The type of factoring used by LRFD differs from the allowable stress design of Chapters A through M of the 1989 Ninth Edition of the AISC Specifications for Allowable Stress Design, where only the resistance is divided by a factor of safety to obtain an allowable stress, and from the plastic design provisions of Chapter N, where the loads are multi plied by a common load factor of 1.7 for gravity loads and 1.3 for gravity loads acting with wind or seismic loads. LRFD offers the structural engineer greater flexibility, rationality, and economy than the previous 1989 Ninth Edition of the AISC Specifications for Allowable Stress Design.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKWhile oriented strandboard (OSB) is increasingly accepted as a structural building product, its application in stressed skin panels (SSP) is limited because of a lack of engineering data for short- and long-term flexural behaviour. In 1986/87, 24 SSPs were constructed, six with flanges of Douglas-fir plywood, six with flanges of Canadian softwood plywood (CSP), and 12 with flanges of OSB. Half were tested for short-term (elastic) behaviour and the other half for long-term (creep) behaviour. Long-term creep testing was begun in February 1987 and continued through to 1989/90. This report presents the results of the 1989/90 testing, which continued measuring and recording test data for deflection, relative humidity, and temperature on the three types of panels; established model predictions for each type of load duration set up for each type of SSP; compared prediction and experimental results using accepted analytical methods and indicated whether the models can be used for accurate prediction of time dependent properties of the different SSPs; determined the value of model parameters that can be related to mechanical properties of SSPs and compared those results to those of other jurisdictions; and indicated the practical significance of the results for house performance.
