Handbook 2 - Design of Timber Structures According to EC 5

This handbook makes specific reference to design of timber structures to European Standards and using products available in Europe.
The handbook is closely linked to Eurocode 5 (EC5), the European code for the design of timber structures. For better understanding of the Eurocode 5 design rules the worked examples are presented.
The purpose of this handbook is to introduce readers to the design of timber structures. It is designed to serve either as a text for a course in timber structures or as a reference for systematic self-study of the subject.

Builders’ Guide to Residential Steel Floors

The Builders Guide to Residential Steel Floors is provided as a guideline to facilitate the appropriate use of cold-formed steel floor framing in the construction of conventional one- and two-family residential dwellings, townhouses, and multifamily dwellings. The provisions in this document were developed by applying accepted engineering practices, test results of steel floor assemblies, and other published reports, technical bulletins, and manufacturer data. However, users of this document should verify its compliance with local code requirements and seek any necessary regulatory approvals prior to use. The user is advised to refer to applicable building code requirements for technical issues beyond the scope of this document and when engineered design is called out. The first three chapters of this document provide an overview of cold-formed steel framing, including its advantages, technical resources, tools and fasteners, and material properties. The overview has many helpful tips and guidance, particularly for first timers. Builders and contractors must understand the strengths and weaknesses of the material they are using. They must also know how to cut, trim, measure, mark, and install steel framing members. Steel framers must know how to order steel members, how to select the proper tools, and how to fasten framing members together. While many of these considerations are best learned by practice, the transition between wood and steel floor framing can be rather easy with the proper guidance and planning.
Chapters 4 and 5 of this document describe how to construct cold-formed steel floors and related sub-trade installations. Chapter 6 provides general recommendations and construction guidelines that are gathered from experienced steel framers. The intent of that chapter is to provide steel framers with good practices that could save them time, material, and frustration.

Moisture-Resistant Homes, A Best Practice Guide and Plan Review Tool for Builders and Designers With a Supplemental Guide for Homeowners

This tool was developed with the following important end-users in mind: designers, builders, remodelers, and homeowners. The scope of the document is focused on relatively common moisture issues encountered in one- and two-family dwellings (attached and detached). The featured best practices are intended to address these issues in typical light-frame wood construction using common building systems. The practices deal with direct moisture issues as well as related design concerns that also influence moisture management in a house. Many of the best practices will provide multiple layers of protection against moisture (e.g., roof overhangs + window flashing), which is an intentional approach to providing good long-term performance. Also, given the diversity of housing materials and construction styles in the U.S., the general approach within the guide is to present moisture management ideas that can lead to several viable solutions, rather than specifying a single workable solution that assumes the use of a limited selection of materials and details. In sections where a single detail is provided, additional details or variations may also provide workable solutions. This approach gives designers and builders the flexibility to develop tailored solutions that reflect their material choices, design preferences, and strategies for meeting various code requirements.
