Reviews

" … this excellent little book should remain an important first reference tool for practising engineers and students alike."
—Civil Engineering Journal, October 2015"All in all, the reviewer would wholeheartedly like to commend this concise and yet informative pocket book as an essential reference for all current practitioners as well as for the next generation of engineers."
—ICE Proceedings-Structures-Buildings Journal, 2015"The book, in its previous editions, has been an essential companion of practising engineers, as well as of students of structural design. The new edition fills a great need to provide the essential data for anyone who may be required to use Eurocodes. This applies to practising engineers as well as undergraduate and postgraduate students of structural design."
