5.0 out of 5 stars Essential reading, 3 Sep 2003
This review is from: Design of Structural Elements (Paperback)
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.

4.0 out of 5 stars A really helpfull guide for engineers and students, 18 April 2003
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).
