"The Book",
By
This review is from: Structural Engineering Handbook (Hardcover)
The "Bible" for structural engineers for decades past and present. Updated and a "must have" for the structural design engineer. The place to start when a new problem is encountered.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Structural Engineering Handbook (Hardcover)
It's a complete book, it has a introduction about structural analysis (indeterminate methods, very useful), also it has a chapter about retaining structures and foundations, reinforced concrete silos (reference DIN 1055 and ACI 313) and another topics buried conduits. Excelent reference of civil engineering.
