The NDS includes a valuable commentary and an NOS Supplement which provides section properties and reference design values, Alowable Sess Design (ASD) emphasize; howeves, Load and Resistance Facior Design (LRFD) i aso included.

Recognizing woods unique properties and proper application of adustment factors is atthe heat of timber design. Calculated stresses are denoted by lower case lelers (such as f for calculated bending svess) and reference design values by upper case laos (such as F,). The NDS denotes the aqusted design values witha “prime” marking (FoF, Fe Fe, Fes E, Eny et), and itis these adjusted values that are the basis for design.
