The Canadian Wood Council (CWC) is the association responsible for the development and dissemination of technical information on the use of wood products in construction. Ensuring that this information is in tune with technical change and users' needs requires constant vigilance.
The purpose of this fifth edition of the Wood Design Manual is to help the Canadian community design - architects, engineers, specification writers, teachers and students of these disciplines - to design wood structures with efficiency, economy and safety. It brings together, in a comprehensive but concise format, the essential information a designer needs for a wide range of wood structural elements and systems.
The information in the Wood Design Manual is based on the latest information available from the National Building Code of Canada (2005) and from CSA Standard 0-86-01 (2005) Engineering Design in Wood. Every effort has been made to ensure that the date and information in the Manual are accurate and complete. The CWC does not, however, assume any responsability for errors or omissions in the Manual nor for engineering plans or plans prepared from it.
