Engineering design is not limited to the realm of science. Because we build primarily from experience, as members of a profession we are constrained to keep our
choices in design within bounds defined by professional consensus and documented in building codes. In the text, the reader is reminded to consult the local building code before committing to sizes, strengths, and details. Nevertheless, the book is written to avoid confusing principles based on mechanics, confirmed experience, and experiment with rules based on professional consensus alone.
