1.0 out of 5 stars Insufficient for engineering, April 17, 2006

By	Benjamin "Ben" (TX USA) - See all my reviews

I strongly believe this book is not proper reference if somebody would like to learn about the behavior of steel as a civil engineering material. The authors talk about the material as if the reader is well aware of the behavior and wants to refresh his/her knowledge.
It is not useful at all!
