Summary : Timber, steel, and concrete are common engineering materials used in structural design. Material choice depends upon the type of structure, availability of material, and the preference of the designer. The design practices the code requirements of each material are very different. In this updated edition, the elemental designs of individual components of each material are presented, together with theory of structures essential for the design. Numerous examples of complete structural designs have been included. A comprehensive database comprising materials properties, section properties, specifications, and design aids, has been included to make this essential reading.

Summary : Pass the PE Civil: Structural depth exam with a review built for accuracy — not padding. This 2026–2027 edition is written specifically for the NCEES PE Civil: Structural depth exam — the 80-question, computer-based afternoon test — and NOT the 16-hour PE Structural (SE) exam. Every method, table, and solution is locked to the exact editions NCEES supplies on test day: ACI 318-14, AISC 15th, ASCE 7-16, AASHTO LRFD 8th, NDS 2018, and TMS 402/602-2016. No guessing which code year to use, and no solutions quietly worked to the wrong edition. Built to the April 2024 NCEES specification, this guide covers all five knowledge areas at full depth: Loads and Load Applications Forces and Load Effects Materials and Material Properties Component Design and Detailing — steel, concrete, prestressed, timber, masonry, foundations, and connections Temporary Structures and Other Topics Inside you'll find: Ten focused review chapters with dozens of fully worked examples that show the equation, the code section, and the lookup path — not just the answer Reference tables you'll reuse on exam day: load combinations, beam formulas, section properties, and adjustment factors FOUR full-length 80-question practice exams — 320 exam-realistic problems at true test difficulty Step-by-step worked solutions for every question, each citing its governing standard and frozen edition Exam-trap callouts targeting the mistakes that cost points: wrong-edition values, ASD/LRFD mixing, weak-axis buckling, and governing load cases A complete reference section: formula summary by area, editions table, conversions, glossary, and exam-day strategy Whether you're a first-time candidate or coming back for a retake, and whether you study full-time or fit prep around a full workload, this book gives you the accurate, edition-correct practice that turns preparation into a passing score. Study the right way. Solve to the right edition. Pass with confidence.
