I am a EIT and had worked in a residential structural engineering firm for a year. I found that I am kind of weak in " connection", "details or drawing review" and roof fraimg. Can anybody suggest a book for me as a reference to improve the aove skills?
 
A subscription to the monthly Journal of Light Construction magthis is a must for anyone working in residential. They also have a CD of past issues. There are also several books advertised in it such as the JLC Field Guide.

There should be a special place for civil engineers who have Trautwine's book copyrighted in 1937.

Thank you for your input into this forum.
