Review: A laudable contribution to the structural engineering profession - As an engineer who has been involved in several award-winning structural designs, I'm pleased to endorse this book. In my opinion, the author is quite correct in his assertion that qualitative and visual understanding of structural behavior, and ability to quickly perform approximate calculations by hand, are essential skills for a competent structural engineer. And I can attest that over the past 25 years, I've seen a general weakening of these skills among my colleagues, especially when comparing entry-level engineers over the years. I don't know the reason, but I suspect that over-reliance on software, and using it as a 'black box', are major factors. This book provides a means to help engineers develop or regain these skills, though of course getting the engineers who *need* to read the book to do so is another matter. The format consists of short chapters, there are abundant illustrations (many in color), and each chapter ends with a nice summary of key points. Better editing could have improved the writing in some places, but the author is clear enough, so this isn't a big deal. Overall, the author evidently put a LOT of work into preparing this book. The book also emphasizes buildings rather than other structures, which will of course suit some engineers more than others, but this wasn't a major deterrent for me, despite my doing little work related to buildings. I recommend this book to all structural engineers in early or intermediate phases of their careers, and graying engineers like me are likely to enjoy the return to fundamentals it provides. The author is my kind of engineer. :-) Review: interesting reading , i ll use it as a support for lectures to architecture students in the coming year . ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0DNLP5PXX | | Accessibility | Learn more | | Best Sellers Rank | #4,722,990 in Kindle Store ( See Top 100 in Kindle Store ) #9,228 in Architecture (Kindle Store) #29,454 in Architecture (Books) #31,466 in Professional Engineering | | Customer Reviews | 4.1 4.1 out of 5 stars (19) | | Edition | 5th | | Enhanced typesetting | Enabled | | File size | 25.9 MB | | ISBN-13 | 978-1068569500 | | Language | English | | Page Flip | Enabled | | Print length | 170 pages | | Publication date | June 12, 2024 | | Publisher | Hugh Morrison | | Word Wise | Not Enabled | | X-Ray | Not Enabled | ## Images ![Structural Engineering Art and Approximation - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71bhSLiJEkL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A laudable contribution to the structural engineering profession *by C***R on February 19, 2015* As an engineer who has been involved in several award-winning structural designs, I'm pleased to endorse this book.

A4 size with well-set out and very clear diagrams plus comprehensible calculations, even for beginners. The interesting side-notes are obviously born of considerable experience. Floppy-backed; not so heavy. Obviously, books still maintain a very important function in learning.
