2.0 out of 5 stars
Dubious Value,
By A Customer
This review is from: Design, Volume 1, Data Book for Civil Engineers, 3rd Edition (Hardcover)
Don't be fooled by the date (May 1996) in the book's description. This book was last updated in 1959. It, therefore, does not reflect the requirements of any modern building codes or take advantage of any of the latest research. For instance, the referenced ACI code is dated 1947, AASHO 1949, etc. The book still has a lot of practical information and historical significance but will require care in its use.

Broad range of detail and hard to find info, with calc's.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Design, Volume 1, Data Book for Civil Engineers, 3rd Edition (Hardcover)
This is a collection of years of work detailed by a civil engineer dealing with many types of materials and projects. His formulas and charts are well documented with an excellent index. Great for structural and general civil engineering type of work.

My Go-To Reference for 30 years,
By Bill Sprague (Hagerstown, MD United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Design, Volume 1, Data Book for Civil Engineers, 3rd Edition (Hardcover)
I began using Design in 1968 when I was in the USAF as a Civil Engineer. The wealth of information compiled by Mr. Seelye is staggering. Even though some of the materials are archaic, the formulae are timeless. I find the tables and nomographs particularly useful for quickly checking the work of my consultants. I've found it useful and I'm sure any Civil Engineer will as well. It would make a great graduation gift for your favorite CE. Computers will need upgrading but this book won't.
