Australian Guidebook for Structural Engineers Hardcover – Aug. 9 2017
鶹
Purchase options and add-ons
This guidebook is a practical and essential tool providing everything necessary for structural design engineers to create detailed and accurate calculations.
Basic information is provided for steel, concrete and geotechnical design in accordance with Australian and international standards. Detailed design items are also provided, especially relevant to the mining and oil and gas industries. Examples include pipe supports, lifting analysis and dynamic machine foundation design.
Steel theory is presented with information on fabrication, transportation and costing, along with member, connection, and anchor design. Concrete design includes information on construction costs, as well as detailed calculations ranging from a simple beam design to the manual production of circular column interaction diagrams. For geotechnics, simple guidance is given on the manual production and code compliance of calculations for items such as pad footings, piles, retaining walls, and slabs. Each chapter also includes recommended drafting details to aid in the creation of design drawings.
More generally, highly useful aids for design engineers include section calculations and force diagrams. Capacity tables cover real-world items such as various slab thicknesses with a range of reinforcing options, commonly used steel sections, and lifting lug capacities. Calculations are given for wind, seismic, vehicular, piping, and other loads. User guides are included for Space Gass and Strand7, including a non-linear analysis example for lifting lug design. Users are also directed to popular vendor catalogues to acquire commonly used items, such as steel sections, handrails, grating, grouts and lifting devices.
This guidebook supports practicing engineers in the development of detailed designs and refinement of their engineering skill and knowledge.

Product description
Review
"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."
--Laurie Dender, Tetra Tech Proteus

3.0 out of 5 stars Good Content, Poor book quality
Verified PurchaseI use this book almost every day for my work, and find it very useful. Some of the content is superseded by newer standards, but it is still a good guide. However, I can only give this book three stars as the binding quality for the book is shockingly bad. The book started to show signs of wear within the first week of use. Now it has completed fallen apart. If you are looking to get this book, I would recommend a hardcover version. If this book was cheaper I would be open to buying a replacement book, but I cannot justify the current paperback price.

3.0 out of 5 stars reference tables were illegible
Verified PurchaseUsing the book as a reference for continuing professional development, found that the tables in the text were illegible and useless to use - made the book less useful than intended.
Disappointed with that outcome.
The actual text was easy to read and of limited use without the tables content being legible.
