The only reference to all important structural engineering principles and design techniques, Structural Engineering Handbook covers standard specifications and codes (including the 1994 AASHTO specifications) and design developments.

Contributions from structural engineers discuss a broad range of vital topics. Concise, practical and user-friendly, this one-of-a-kind resource gives you not only information on the planning, design, and construction of a variety of engineered structures, but also practical examples and detailed descriptions of design procedures.
