This comprehensive text more than meets the demand within the sign industry for a book on the structural engineering of signs. Sign companies, structural engineers and public agencies charged with regulating building construction will all benefit from the detailed contents: engineering perspective, analysis, practices, history; load calculations for signs exposed to all types of environmental conditions; freestanding sign structures, load effects, resultants and columns; connections, structural bolts and welds, column splices, base plates and anchor bolts; footings for sign columns, soils, structural concrete, pier and spread footings; internal sign cabinet frames, cantilever arms and torsion beams; building signs, wall sign anchorage, wooden post signs; computer aided engineering, spreadsheets, and finite element analysis. The book also includes the fundamental mathematics for readers not already familiar with engineering calculations. With hundreds of figures, tables and equations, Engineering Sign Structures has become the standard reference for both the sign and structural engineering industries.

July 8, 2016

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

This book provides in depth review on engineering, however, some other books, such as Sign Structures and Foundations, provide more concrete guidelines on how to come up wit specifics on selection of posts, bolts, concrete, etc. that are helpful for day to day construction of signage. If you are interested in engineering for the sign world, pick this book up though.

Who is this book written for?

January 3, 2010

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

As a structural engineer, the only type of person who should be allowed to design significant sign structures, I find the book very disappointing. It explains concepts like bending moment and torsion that a fisrt-year engineering student should know, except that any student will tell you it's wrong to say "torsion is a form of shear". The book deals with a subject of interest to practicing engineers (not to students) but as though they know nothing.It is aimed at a non-existing market segment. Dangerously, it does not deal with subjects like metal fatigue.

An absolute "must have" text for sign designers

October 17, 1999

Format: Hardcover

As a registered engineer with 35 years in the sign industry, I find Dr. Jones book to be without equal within the industry. Taking a complex subject and reducing it to understandable concepts, he has contributed greatly to improved safety and functionality for sign builders and sign users. This text would also be excellent for any design or structural engineer in that it approaches some unique design difficulties with a simple, yet effective approach to engineering. The accompanying spreadsheets which are offered on-line for downloading help the reader to master the concepts presented.

First comprehensive guide to basic sign engineering.

August 10, 1999

Format: Hardcover

Finally the sign building industry is beginning to establish some standards. This long overdue book on the basics of engineering sign structures (mainly freestanding signs) covers all the pertinent loads, sign columns, footings, connections, and even discusses up-to-date software techniques and offers some simple spreadsheet files for engineering sign poles and footings. A must for everyone working in the industry.
