big help for understandingThis book provides a wide

This book provides a wide variety of structural formula, both the basic and the more involved. It provides basic guidance on how to approach solving structural problems. I did notice that the preference in units is metric, but the book provides straight forward conversion from american units.

A Solid Summary of Basic Engineering Information

This work provides information on such things as geometric sections, beams, trusses, arches, plates, etc., often under various loading conditions. Its chapter on frame analysis is notable. Also featured are such things as building foundations, pipes and tunnels, soils, retaining structures, etc.

Condensed convenience

This is a very handy little book. Properties of plane areas, basic vibration, beam formulas, plates w/ various b.c.'s, foundations, frames, arches, earth retaining, pipes & tunnels. Think of it as a specialized, watered down Roark's with more than a few hidden gems. It was extremely useful in my exam and is still very used as a quick reference or for basic first passes and superpositions for more complicated problems. I humbly suggest that the review mentioning units is unfounded. The book is unitless as far as I've seen, aside from the examples. The examples use metric units.

well organized contents. the ability to access the contents over the net is a big plus.

Structural Engineering Formulas

Excellant quick referance. Reviewed this book while studying for recent PE exam. Author included plenty of blank "Note" pages throughout book which I utilized to add comments and referances to other texts. Used book during exam with great success.
