28/07/2023, 18:20 20 Best Structural Engineering Books of All Time - BookAuthority

STEEL DESIGN covers the fundamentals of structural steel design with an emphasis on the design of
members and their connections, rather than the integrated design of buildings. The book is designed so that
instructors can easily teach LRFD, ASD, or both, time-permitting. The application of fundamental principles
is encouraged for design procedures as well as for practical design, but a theoretical approach is also
provided to enhance student development.  ...more

7 Structures
Or Why Things Don't Fall Down
J. E. Gordon (You?) | 2003 | 4.2

In a book that Business Insider noted as one of the "14 Books that inspired Elon Musk," J.E. Gordon strips
engineering of its confusing technical terms, communicating its founding principles in accessible, witty
prose.For anyone who has ever wondered why suspension bridges don't collapse under eight lanes of
traffic, how dams hold back--or give way under--thousands of gallons of water, or what principles guide
the design of a skyscraper, a bias-cut dress, or a kangaroo, this book will ease your anxiety and answer
your questions. ...more

Prepared by the Committee on Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and Other Structures of the Codes and
Standards Activities Division of the Structural Engineering Institute of ASCE Minimum Design Loads and
Associated Criteria for Buildings and Other Structures, ASCE/SEI 7-16, provides the most up-to-date and
coordinated loading standard for general structural design. The two-book set of ASCE 7-16 describes the
means for determining design loads including dead, live, soil, flood, tsunami, snow, rain, atmospheric ice,
earthquake, wind, and fire, as well as how to assess load combinations.  ...more

With Application in Structural Engineering Analysis
Raphael Jean Boulbes (You?) | 2019 | 4.06

This book gives Abaqus users who make use of finite-element models in academic or practitioner-based
research the in-depth program knowledge that allows them to debug a structural analysis model. The book
provides many methods and guidelines for different analysis types and modes, that will help readers to
solve problems that can arise with Abaqus if a structural model fails to converge to a solution. The use of
Abaqus affords a general checklist approach to debugging analysis models, which can also be applied to
structural analysis. ...more
