Good book
|
|
this book is great if you need examples for design.it has concrete to ,steel ,masonry,composite and timber all of them to BS.then it has the same chapters but to Eurocodes.overall a very useful book for practice,not for theory.

great book for civil /structural engineers
|
This is a brilliant work. Written in a clear and professional manner. It is the most comprehensive coverage in structural analysis and design in 4 different materials (concrete,steel, masonry and timber).
It's clear explanation of the principles and philosophy of design is enlightening. Further treatment of the Codes of Practice (British and Eurocodes) makes it a book for both the old practitioner and the young student engineer. Get it in your shelf. It's worth the money.

I know the guy!

I was his student at UCL and he knows the subject! It is a very good book in terms of general member sizing. It has everything you need to know for day to day detailing but do not expect much in terms of structural analysis. Civil Engineers must have it on their libraries, the students should sleep with it on their sides! It is a 5 star for what it offers!

Essential reading
|
|
For those studying civ eng, this book will get you through your structural element design exams. As part of our core text at Loughborough, it was undoubtedly the most useful book we had. If you buy just one book for your civ eng course. this is the one you need.

A really helpfull guide for engineers and students
|
|
This is a book that represents not only the present, but also the future. The book is divided in two parts, the first part is an analysis of the latest British Standards (Concrete, Steel, Masonry and Timber with a reference to Wind Loads) including many solved examples. The second part is dedicated to the analysis of Eurocodes including examples on structural analysis of different materials (same as the first part)and various structural forms. The author have done a brilliant work in terms of the code's explaination, something that makes the book a unique guide for the students of Civil and Structural Engineering. However, it is poor in structural analysis of foundation members since it covers only the analysis of footing pads (no pilecap or pile analysis included).
