“Introduction to Wood Design: A Learning Guide to Complement the Wood Design Manual” (1st Edition) by the Canadian Wood Council is a comprehensive educational resource designed to support the understanding and application of structural wood design principles in accordance with Canadian standards.

This guide serves as a companion to the Wood Design Manual, making it especially useful for students, emerging professionals, and engineers who are new to wood construction. It covers foundational topics such as:

The properties of wood as a structural material

Design methodologies using limit states design (LSD)

Load combinations and code requirements

Design of wood components such as beams, columns, and shear walls

Connections using nails, bolts, screws, and wood-to-wood fasteners

Use of engineered wood products and prefabricated components

The book emphasizes practical, example-driven learning, with numerous diagrams, step-by-step calculations, and design exercises that reinforce theoretical concepts. It aligns with the National Building Code of Canada and the CSA O86 standard (Engineering Design in Wood).

Overall, the guide is an accessible and structured introduction to structural wood design, ideal for classroom instruction, self-study, or as a refresher for practicing engineers transitioning to wood design.
