3.0 out of 5 stars Civil & Structural Engineering, December 21, 2007
This review is from: Civil & Structural Engineering: Seismic Design of Buildings & Bridges (Paperback)

The book is informative but i find it not using SI. In the Philippines we are using SI so it will be time consuming for conversion works. Also the topic for bridge design is limited. I hope it can be expanded by the author.
