Review
"Best money I've ever spent, absolutely brilliant"

"All my colleagues stare at this book with wonder and keep asking me where they can get it from - and these guys are experienced engineers - enough said!"

"A brilliant little book"

"Tables, material properties and formulas in one textbook. Really handy."

"This book has been a life saver for me ever since I bought it"

"an excellent book...of exceptional usefulness at a very reasonable price."

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Essential Structural Reference Book, 14 Sep 2004
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars a brilliant little book, 2 Feb 2004
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.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good in theory, but poorly executed, 15 Jun 2006
By Mr. S. C. Hillier "SChillier" (Glasgow, Scotland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I would tend to agree with the other reviews on this book. However, when put to practice there are numerous typographical errors that change the fundamental meaning of many of the tables and equations leaving the reader in doubt over their validity. This book could really do with a second edition, following a comprehensive proof read and check!
