Structural Engineering Formulas, 2nd Edition

A fully updated edition of the indispensable portable reference for all practicing civil engineers and students

Comprehensive yet compact, Structural Engineering Formulas, Second Edition is a user-friendly, time-saving reference packed with key structural engineering formulas for a wide variety of applications. Featuring introductory material on use and application of each formula, along with appendices covering conversion information and selected mathematical formulas and symbols, this is a unique resource no civil engineer should be without.

Structural Engineering Formulas, Second Edition

• Includes equations used in foundation and soil, retaining structure, tunnel, beam, frame, plate, pipe, and other structural design
• Contains tables helpful for verifying computer analyses of complex structures
• Enables you to obtain accurate results with minimum time and effort
• Serves as an aid for those studying for licensing exams

New to this edition: New hands-on formulas covering topics such as:

• Forces and deflections in statically determinate structural systems
• Instability of structural components
• Transient loading
• Analysis of special structures
• Connections--bolted and welded
• Building design criteria: loads of all types--roof, wind, seismic, occupancy, impact, and fatigue
• Design of building members
• Floor and roof systems
• Lateral-force design
• Bridge design criteria for: highway loadings, earthquakes, repetitive loadings, deck loadings
• Design of various types of bridges--highway, railroad, beam and girder, truss, arch, and cable-suspended bridges
