Description

This hard-copy version contains the code-recognized 2018 National Design Specification (NDS) for Wood Construction and Commentary with 2018 Supplement: Design Values for Wood Construction. It does not include SDPWS. The 2018 NDS includes design information for sawn lumber, structural glued laminated timber, structural-use panels, poles and piles, I-joists, structural composite lumber, structural connections (nails, bolts, screws), and cross-laminated timber. The 2018 National Design Specification (NDS) for Wood Construction was developed by the American Wood Council's (AWC) Wood Design Standards Committee and has been approved by ANSI as an American National Standard. The 2018 NDS is referenced in the 2018 International Building Code. Significant additions to the 2018 NDS include new Roof Sheathing Ring Shank nails and fastener head pull-through design provisions to address increased wind loads in ASCE 7-16 Minimum Design Loads and Associated Criteria for Buildings and Other Structures.

A necessary reference for residential wooden building construction.
This is a must have if you want to design wood buildings with nominal lumber and glulam. There are examples available online that help you learn how to work with this reference.

The 2018 Wood Design Package shipped with out of date contents
The 2018 Wood Design Package from the Publisher ships with the 2018 NDS and the 2021 SDPWS, this vendor ships the 2015 SDPWS. So if you buy from this vendor, be prepared to spend another $60.00 to get the current Wood Design Package as produced by AWC. This is a major bait and switch for anyone designing timber structures subject to wind or seismic loads. Since all structures are subject to these loads, this applies to everyone in the US that designs timber structures. ... show more

A necessary tool to design wood structures.
I use it for design of wood structures. I find all the information I need about wood.

Intentionally misleading
The photo clearly shows the NDS, Supplement, and SDPWS. That is a pretty standard way to package the set of books. However, the provided set does not include the SDPWS. Clearly this is purposefully misleading because it would take no effort to use the correct image/photo for what is being provided.
