of structural design and advanced framing techniques with this
hands-on guide for builders and remodelers. With simple explanations
in plain English you'll learn how to calculate loads, size joists

wall, floor, and roof framing with both dimensional and engineered
lumber. You'll find information on sizing joists and beams, framing
with wood I-joists, supporting oversized dormers, erecting and
supporting trusses, unequal-pitched roofs, coffered ceilings, steel
moment frames, jacking & shoring old houses, glulam beams and more.
