Structural Engineer's Pocket Book

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.

Usefull whern you work with British Standards

There was no indication that this pocket book was written based on data for Great Britain. I discovered this only after it arrived!

Good handy book. Not as detailed in items as I would have liked. Layout in terms of Index could be better. Hard to find items at first

Keeping me at hand for every bit of information at the right place and at the right time! It's simply functional,what more can I ask for!>>>>

This is an excellent book for any practising engineer. I still pick it up for quick reference. The example floor and roof loads need to be used with care, as I have found some of them to be rounded off on the low side. Apart from that, it has plenty of useful, accurate content in a compact form.

useful reference

I have given this 4 starts just because I don't use it very often, but when I do its very good.

must have
