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.

Essential Structural Reference Book
I have been a structural engineer for 2 years now and I had to refer back to the different codes many times a day for simple questions, now I use this book instead. Also, since I bought it into the office everyone else in the office has got their own one.

a brilliant little book
this book has been a life saver for me since i bought it. i have just started work as a structural engineer and for the first couple of months i did nothing but annoy my fellow workers by continually asking them questions and seeking their advice. since getting this book i have had to ask far fewer questions and thus my co-workers have received a well earned break from me. i no longer recive death stares from them and all in all the world is a much happier place.

Some problem with the binding
There is some problem with the binding of this book. We bought some copies a year back and they are falling apart. Mine started falling apart after half a month of use.

Otherwise a Structural Pocket Book like this for the british marked is a fine idea and is much needed. This one does however not seem to be competitive to what one can find for other countries and there are quite a few errors in it.
