Comprehensive yet compact, this user-friendly format is a valuable timesaving device designers and structural engineers will welcome. There are 114 formula tables of full-page dimensions coupled with introductory material on use and application of the formulas. Reduce to the 5X8 trim, the authors include appendix material covering metric conversion information, selected mathematical formulas, and symbols. A gem of a book every engineer involved with structural design will consider a "must have".
