Comprehensive Coverage for the SE Structural Engineering Exam
The SE Structural Engineering Reference Manual prepares you for the NCEES SE structural engineering exam. It provides a comprehensive review of structural analysis and design methods related to vertical and lateral forces. All exam topics are covered, and exam-adopted codes and standards are frequently referenced. You will learn how to apply concepts by reviewing the 270 example problems, and you will strengthen your problem-solving skills by working the 50 end-of-chapter practice problems. Each problems complete solution lets you check your own solving approach.
Access to supportive information is just as important as knowledge and problem-solving efficiency. The SE Structural Engineering Reference Manuals thorough index easily directs you to the codes and concepts you will need during the exam. Cross references to more than 700 equations, 60 tables, 250 figures, 8 appendices, and relevant codes will point you to additional support material when you need it.

4. Principles of Structural Design: Wood, Steel, and Concrete, Second Edition
Description
A structural design book with a code-connected focus, Principles of Structural Design: Wood, Steel, and Concrete, Second Edition introduces the principles and practices of structural design. This book covers the section properties, design values, reference tables, and other design aids required to accomplish complete structural designs in accordance with the codes.
Whats New in This Edition:
- Reflects all the latest revised codes and standards
- The text material has been thoroughly reviewed and expanded, including a new chapter on concrete design
- Suitable for combined design coursework in wood, steel, and concrete
- Includes all essential materialthe section properties, design values, reference tables, and other design aids required to accomplish complete structural designs according to the codes
- This book uses the LRFD basis of design for all structures
This updated edition has been expanded into 17 chapters and is divided into four parts. The first section of the book explains load and resistance factor design, and explores a unified approach to design. The second section covers wood design and specifically examines wood structures. It highlights sawn lumber, glued laminated timber, and structural composite/veneer lumber. The third section examines steel structures. It addresses the AISC 2010 revisions to the sectional properties of certain structural elements, as well as changes in the procedure to design the slip-critical connection. The final section includes a chapter on T beams and introduces doubly reinforced beams.
Principles of Structural Design: Wood, Steel, and Concrete, Second Edition
was designed to be used for joint coursework in wood, steel, and concrete design.5. Structural Loads Analysis for Commercial Aircraft: Theory and Practice (AIAA Education Series)
Feature
Used Book in Good ConditionDescription
This important text covers all aspects of structural loads analysis and provides some continuity between what was done on earlier airplane designs and what the current applications of the present regulations require.6. Bridge Problems for the Structural Engineering (SE) Exam: Lateral Loads - 2nd Ed.
Description
This 2nd edition references the latest SE Exam bridge code, AASHTO LRFD 7th Edition and includes 12 new pages explaining the changes to the AASHTO code and updated problem solutions. This book is a comprehensive study guide containing 40 multiple choice bridge questions with detailed solutions for the Lateral Component of the NCEES SE Exam. It is specifically written for the "building" structural engineer that does not commonly design bridges in everyday practice, but must have basic knowledge of bridge design for the SE Exam. Also, it is a good review for the "bridge" structural engineer.7. Structural Fire Loads: Theory and Principles
Feature
Used Book in Good ConditionDescription
Tested techniques for designing fire-resistant structures
Structural Fire Loads bridges the gap between prescriptive and performance-based methods for the design of fire-resistant buildings. The book streamlines complex computer analyses so that an approximate analytical expression can be easily used in structural fire load analysis and design.
Simplified versions of energy, mass, and momentum equations are provided in dimensionless form with their solutions in tabular form. Step-by-step examples using standard structural systems, such as beams, trusses, frames, and arches, are also presented in this practical guide. Using the proven methods in this book, all types of fires can be addressed in the design process.
Coverage includes:
- Overview of current practice
- Structural fire load and computer models
- Differential equations and assumptions
- Simplifications of differential equations
- Fire load and severity of fires
- Structural analysis and design
8. Vibration of solids and structures under moving loads (Mechanics of Structural Systems)
Description
Transport engineering structures are subjected to loads that vary in both time and space. In general mechanics parlance such loads are called moving loads. It is the aim of the book to analyze the effects of this type of load on various elements, components, structures and media of engineering me chanics. In recent years all branches of transport have experienced great advances characterized by increasingly higher speeds and weights of vehicles. As a result, structures and media over or in which the vehicles move have been subjected to vibrations and dynamic stresses far larger than ever before. The author has studied vibrations of elastic and inelastic bodies and structures under the action of moving loads for many years. In the course of his career he has published a number of papers dealing with various aspects of the problem. On the strength of his studies he has arrived at the conclusion that the topic has so grown in scope and importance as to merit a comprehensive treatment. The book is the outcome of his attempt to do so in a single monograph.9. Masonry Structural Design, Second Edition
Description
Thoroughly Updated Coverage of Masonry Codes, Materials, and Structural Design
This fully revised resource covers the design of masonry structures using the 2015 International Building Code, the ASCE 7-10 loading standard, and the TMS 402-13 and TMS 602-13 design and construction standards. The book emphasizes the strength design of masonry and includes allowable-stress provisions. The latest advances, materials, and techniques are clearly explained. Chapter-long case studies featuring a low-rise building with reinforced concrete masonry and a four-story building with clay masonry illustrate the topics presented.
Masonry Structural Design, Second Edition, covers:
Structural behavior and design of low-rise, bearing wall buildings
Materials used in masonry construction
Code basis for structural design of masonry buildings
Basics of seismic design in masonry buildings
Introduction to MSJC treatment of structural design
Strength design of reinforced and unreinforced masonry elements
Allowable-stress design of reinforced and unreinforced masonry elements
