About the Author

Univ. Prof. Dr.-Ing. E. h. Joachim Scheer taught Steel Construction at the Technical University of Braunschweig (Germany).

Reviews

"The decision to publish this expanded version in English recognized that engineers around the world often seem to fail to learn from the mistakes in their predecessors, and it was desirable to expand the book's audience much more widely." ( The Happy Pontist, June 2010)
