About the Book

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.

Audience

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.
