Customer Reviews

This is a 'must have' book
Anyone who designs anything in steel should have this book. The rear section of the book is the most useful with bending/shear/deflection formulae and diagrams, section data, bolt data & weld data. I use it regularly for designing formwork.

Excellent Book, Essential for the Civil / Nuclear Engineer
This book is esential for the civil / nuclear engineer who is doing Steel Design. Especially useful is the final sections that list all of the major properies of standard sections that are available. Saves time finding the standards and going through them!!! I use it on a daily basis.
