wood truss design
does anyone know of a source for a book or reprint on simplified design of wood trusses (specifically scissor trusses) graphic design preferably
"design specification for metal plate connected wood trusses, tpi-85" does make mention of scissors trusses. free .pdf download at
you might want to find a copy of "design of building trusses" and "simplified design of wood trusses".  i dbt is written by ambrose and sdwt is either by ambrose or parker.  they are both part of the simplified design series.  "simplified engineering", "simplified design of building structures" ect.
also you want to get a copy of the aitc manual.  you may need an earlier edition to find information on graphic solutions.  i know you can find it in the third edition but i am unsure about the fourth edition.
