Australian Guidebook for Structural Engineers

"This book, although it is aimed primarily at structural engineers, will be a welcome and valuable addition to the shelves of civil engineers of any specialization. It sets out rational step-by-step procedures for undertaking projects, rather than merely focusing on the details of the methods of calculation, as many other texts do. It also helps to provide context for the analysis and design process. While the book is aimed at Australian engineers, the principles and sequence of the design processes should be relevant to all countries."

-- Professor Harry Poulos, Coffey Services

"This book provides valuable practical guidance to engineers with case example calculations which occur often in practice. It assists in applying and interpreting the Australian Standards for determining loads and designing structural elements in concrete and steel. It is a tool which any structural engineer would find useful."
