Description

The Structural Engineer's Pocket Book is the only compilation of all tables, data, facts and formulae needed for scheme design by structural engineers in a handy-sized format. Bringing together data from many sources into a compact, affordable pocketbook, it saves valuable time spent tracking down information needed regularly.

This new and improved edition has been updated throughout, expanding previous chapters and reflecting changes to the British Standards, as well as including a whole new section on sustainability covering general concepts, materials, actions and targets for structural engineers.

Although small in size, this book contains the facts and figures needed for preliminary design whether in the office, on-site or in the IStructE Part 3 Exam. Based on UK conventions, the Structural Engineer's Pocket Book is split into 14 sections including geotechnics, structural steel, reinforced concrete, masonry and timber.

Readership

Structural and Civil Engineering professionals in particular those about to sit the IStructE Part 3 Chartered Membership examination. Also for students on civil and structural engineering as part of HND, BSC, BEng or MEng courses.
