The increasing complexity of homes, the use of innovative materials and technologies, and the increased population in high-hazard areas of the United States have created many challenges to the building industry and design profession.

The Residential Structural Design Guide: 2000 Edition is an effort to document and improve structural engineering knowledge related to housing design and performance.
