Wood Timber Design book for pm construction?

[Tomhunt]

Did anyone find it useful to have a Wood Timber design book reference for the pm construction?

 

[KevinA]

Yes. I used it for at least one question.

Ya, one question was out of these in the last exam.

I thought there were two but I could not work either one. Unless you have experience with the formulas and tables you cant really work a problem from a reference book. I should say I could not.

I didn't need one (April 08 sitting), but there were 2 questions on there that would require a reference if you didn't have timber experience (thank you high-school woodshop teacher).

I would say if you can get it relatively easily, I would go ahead and get it. One thing I learned was that they can and will change the references that they stress on each exam...

I had references with me that I did not even open and I had ones that I used more during the exam than I had any used up until then..
