The Residential Structural Design Guide is a comprehensive tool for design professionals, particularly structural engineers, seeking to provide value-added services to the producers and consumers of American housing. The guide is organized around the following major objectives: to present a sound perspective on American housing relative to its history, construction characteristics, regulation, and performance experience; to provide the latest technical knowledge and engineering approaches for the design of homes to complement current code-prescribed design methods; to assemble relevant design data and methods in a single, comprehensive format that is instructional and simple to apply for the complete design of a home; and to reveal areas where gaps in existing research, design specifications, and analytic tools necessitate alternative methods of design and sound engineering judgment to produce efficient designs.
