5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent resource for practicing professional engineers,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Standard Handbook of Architectural Engineering (Hardcover)
Excellent resource for professionals who need ready access to common architectural design issues. Provides excellent emperical techniques not available in academic texts. Real time saver. One disappointment - the computer disk of calculations was for the P. C. computers and not usable by the MacIntosh community which I am a part. Even without the computing aid, the book was well worth it's price.

Not good reference for Arch Engineering PE Exam,
By Christopher Ackerman (Frederick, MD United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Standard Handbook of Architectural Engineering (Hardcover)
DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK IF YOU ARE STUDYING FOR THE NEW ARCHITECTURAL ENGINEERING PE EXAM - IT IS NOT USEFUL AT ALL. I bought this book as reference to study for and take the newly established Architectural Engineering PE exam and was sorely disappointed. The author fails in his self-proclaimed attempt to distill engineering design formulations into an easy-to-read format. The equations throughout the book are simply "dumbed down" linear statements of esoteric symbols with next to no regard to engineering notation conventions. The example problems may resemble some types of common design problems, but are rarely general enough to apply to varying situations. I didn;t refer eveon one time to any equation or example problem in this book when studying for or taking the actual PE exam in April 2003.

Standard Handbook of Architectural Engineering,
By george ej babakitis (Las Vegas,NV) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Standard Handbook of Architectural Engineering, Single (CD-ROM)
This book is very helpful for the architects understanding of structures with its companion CD, is a unique problem-solving tool and provides solutions to difficulties as they arise on the job.
