Synopsis
A comprehensive treatment of the design of structural elements, suitable for first and second year undergraduates on civil engineering or structural engineering courses, and a useful reference tool for related disciplines like architectural or building courses which require a knowledge of all the principal design materials. This book provides a detailed study of the process of design for structural elements, to British standards, in all four building materials: timber, masonry, concrete and steel. The scope of this text is wide and its numerous examples and diagrams should make it an ideal course text.

Customer Reviews

Its layout makes me nuts!
Hi there! This is just a very first personal impression about solely the look of the book; not about its content which seems superb indeed, as Mr Easterbrook also points out at the back! It looks like everything has been amateurishly edited in rush using Word or any other cheap text editor - some of the graphs and illustrations are of poor quality. Also (due to space saving I guess) everything is presented too dense and squished, having e.g. least blank lines left between figures, examples and the main text and with a fonts style and size that don't help! It is really sad feeling that you hold a high-quality textbook, in terms of technical information and science presented, which on the other hand visually puts you down to read!

A fantastic book, i would recomend this book above others for all strutural engineer undergrades and grads in employment. The book takes you through the step by step on designing strutural elements. A MUST BYE IT!!!!!

Design of Structural Elements
I bought this book for my son who was resitting an exam. He found it most useful for his studies.
