Product Description:
Until now there has been no comprehensive pocket reference guide for professional and student structural engineers. The Structural Engineers Pocket Book is a unique compilation of all table, data, facts, formulae and rules of thumb needed for scheme design by structural engineers in the office, in transit or on site.
By bringing together data from many sources, this pocket book is a compact source of job-simplifying information at an affordable price. It is a first point of reference as well as saving valuable time spent trying to track down information that is needed on a daily basis.
This may be a small book in terms of its physical dimensions, but it contains a wealth of useful engineering knowledge. Concise and precise, the book is split into 13 sections, with quick and clear access to subject areas including: timber, masonry, concrete, aluminium and glass. British Standards are used and referenced throughout.
*the only book of its kind for structural engineers.
*brings together information from many different sources for the first time.
*comprehensive, yet concise and affordable.

Rating: 2
There was no indication that this pocket book was written based on data for Great Britain. I discovered this only after it arrived!
Summary: Good book IF you live in the UK!
Rating: 2
The laws, codes and building types are all UK (Great Britain). Pretty useless in the good ole US of A.
All the structural stuff is in metric (Yea, I know we should use metric, but we don't).
And all the shapes are British Standard.
Heck of a nice book, but wrong country.
