A Practical Book

Structural Steel Design, through the years, has changed through the past decade. But the basics have remained the same. With the advent of computer softwares, analysis and design have become a lot easier. But what if you lack electrical power, as in the case in some parts of the Philippines? Or if you do not have an access to a computer hardware or software? Well, with John Lother's "Steel Design", you could cover a lot of grounds without much effort if you just kept with you as a structural engineer your basics. The book is very practical and provides the user simple approaches to problems w/ no need for computers for as long as you have a reliable scientific calculator. For beginners, it gives a guide to the hows and whats of steel design.
