Revised Wood Dqto Tobles Reody

Hundreds of tables giving "worked-out" answers needed in designing structural members of lumber are contained in a newly-revised edition of Wood Structural Design Data, publication of the National Lumber Manufacturers Association widqly used by the building industries.

The new editionbf WSDD wi-ll save architects, engineers and builders many of the time-consuming computations heretofore necessary in connection with structural designs of wood. The revised volume also includes "latest design criteria which will make it easier for the building trades to use rvood economically and efficiently."

More than 100,000 copies of past editions of WSDD have been distributed to the building trades and related industries. The revised edition contains 362 pages of design information, formulas, drawings, charts, graphs, and safe load tables for wood beams, columns, plank and laminated floors and roof decks. and stud walls. Also included are data on wood truss designs and maximum spans for joists and rafters.

WSDD is designed for use with local building codes or the National Design Specification for Stress-Grade Lumber and its Fastenings, another lumber association publication regarded as the standard for engineered timber constfuctron.

In effect, National Design Specification gives the strength factors to use in figuring the load-carrying capacity of various lumber grades and species, while WSDD reports the loads which the various sizes of these grades and species will support.

Both publications are available from headquarters of the National Lumber Manufacturers Association, 1319 18th St., N.W., Washington 6, D. C. Wood Structural Design Data is priced at $4 a copy; National Design Specification may be obtained for 50 cents a copy.
