Can anyone suggest any books, NCARB type monographs, webinar, etc for brushing up on steel sizing for residential projects? Thanks in advance.

wl2/8 = M
M/fofb = Sx
f of b = 24,000
and... you're done. That'll be $250, please

Shuellmi, I work on mostly single family projects. Usually high-end additions/ renovations and some custom homes. We have structural engineers that we usually use. For the straightforward stuff, I would like to start doing my own calcs.
JeromeS: thanks. I'm pretty familiar with the structural formulas. I might just be over thinking the process because I haven't really sized anything since grad school. Basically, I'm just looking for some reference material.
