Reviews

'It is aimed at the first time engineers and engineering students who can appreciate the complete design process through the analysis of the whole structure and the design of structural members. ...will prove to be valuable for practising engineers in design offices, and students on engineering structural courses. ...it will be a valuable asset.' Building Engineer '...certainly would help with understanding the amount of detail that is required to do design calculations to comply with Eurocode... ...covers the basic principles with a written introduction to the relevant item. ...descriptions are enlightening... The understanding and use of the Eurocode wind load requirements is very well explained and laid out. ...this would be a valuable text for any designer...' Civil Engineering, South Africa
