A Complete Guide to Solving Lateral Load Path Problems

The Analysis of Irregular Shaped Structures: Diaphragms and Shear Walls explains how to calculate the forces to be transferred across multiple discontinuities and reflect the design requirements on construction documents. Step-by-step examples offer progressive coverage, from basic to very advanced illustrations of load paths in complicated structures. The book is based on the 2009 International Building Code, ASCE/SEI 7-05, the 2005 Edition of the National Design Specification for Wood Construction, and the 2008 Edition of the Special Design Provisions for Wind and Seismic (SDPWS-08).

One of the best for Wood Frame Multifamily

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

Tremendously helpful book, and a must for anyone who does 4+ storey wood framing. Tons of examples, relatively easy to follow, and concise methodology.

This is an excellent resource for any engineer or designer of timber structures using shear walls to resist lateral loads. Look inside!

Practical, Organized, and for those in practice

February 26, 2014 - Published on Amazon.com

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

As a practicing structural engineer, this is so far the best book that i have found. It is well organized and comes from someone who has been practicing in the field. The author knows that many of our fellow engineers don't take the time to look at irregularities. This is book is written for people who best learn through doing examples. It is my experience that many books will tell you what to do in a few words. Meanwhile, this book goes through step by step examples to illustrate the concepts. It is filled with diagrams, commentary, and wisdom.

The only other books that I have worked through that compare to this book are the SEA of California design example books. Also, Terry Malone now works for Woodworks. He is a great asset that engineers can reach out to when they need help designing wood structures. All he asks back is for information about the project so that Woodworks can justify it's helpfulness.

I only hope that Terry writes more books, because this one is a winner.

The author, Terry Malone, is a tremendously dedicated and common sense type SE. I attended a seminar where he was one of the presenters. He emailed the solutions for the problems in this book, which was a great help.

I love this book

July 30, 2015 - Published on Amazon.com

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

I love this book. I was working with structural design/ drafting for wood framed houses for a few years, and this is the only source that explained me very well behavior of wood framed floor diaphragms and shearwalls in real life irregularly shaped buildings..

A must have for wood building designers

November 10, 2014 - Published on Amazon.com

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

I wish I had a book like this a long time ago. A book like this is crucial for any structural engineer who designs timber-framed buildings. This book goes into great detail regarding macro- and micro-analysis and detailing of timber-framed lateral force resistance systems
