Hello, is there an illustration book or PDF document showing diagrams of every structural aspect of a house? It would be great if it also described necessary structural components of a house (spacing between supports in a staircase, etc.).
Thank you!
You can start with Inspection Gallery - InterNACHI®
If you don’t find what you are looking for there, search the interweb and various code books for individual images.
It’s called… GOOGLE!!
Some local AHJ’s have portals that allow you to download structural drawings for specific structures. Others you can call or email to request them.
I don’t know of any single source. Not to mention, you can find different commentary about structural components.
There is a ebook you can purchase called the illustrated house. It has everything not just structural items
Book
No one has yet mentioned the IRC and IBC. both have detailed diagrams and requirements for building walls, floors, etc.
Thank you ALL for your knowledge. I will look into them all.
