This review is from: Standard Handbook of Structural Details for Building Construction (Hardcover)
This is probably your least expensive option for buying a book of standard details. It's best coverage is of timber and concrete. Structural steel leaves a bit to be desired, but isn't bad if you only want bolted connections (primarily beam to beam). Extensive coverage of timber details. Would be nice to add one or two line explanations of why a particular detail would be employed. If nothing else, you can hand a photocopy of a detail to your CAD tech as a starting point.
