Structural Engineer's Pocket Book

Book Description

Until now there has been no comprehensive pocket reference guide for professional and student structural engineers. The Structural Engineers Pocket Book is a unique compilation of all table, data, facts, formulae and rules of thumb needed for scheme design by structural engineers in the office, in transit or on site.

By bringing together data from many sources, this pocket book is a compact source of job-simplifying information at an affordable price. It is a first point of reference as well as saving valuable time spent trying to track down information that is needed on a daily basis.

This may be a small book in terms of its physical dimensions, but it contains a wealth of useful engineering knowledge. Concise and precise, the book is split into 13 sections, with quick and clear access to subject areas including: timber, masonry, concrete, aluminium and glass. British Standards are used and referenced throughout.

*the only book of its kind for structural engineers.
*brings together information from many different sources for the first time.
*comprehensive, yet concise and affordable.

A purely functional reference for Structural Engineers!.......2007-02-17

Keeping me at hand for every bit of information at the right place and at the right time! It's simply functional,what more can I ask for!>>>>

Written for the UK structural engieer.......2005-09-03

There was no indication that this pocket book was written based on data for Great Britain. I discovered this only after it arrived!

Good book IF you live in the UK!.......2005-08-18

The laws, codes and building types are all UK (Great Britain). Pretty useless in the good ole US of A.

All the structural stuff is in metric (Yea, I know we should use metric, but we don't).

And all the shapes are British Standard.

Heck of a nice book, but wrong country.

Book Description

Inspired by the overwhelming response to the "One Good Idea" feature articles in Quality Progress, ASQ's monthly magazine, the book 101 Good Ideas was born. This book consists of a collection of articles that appeared in Quality Progress between April 1988 and January 1998. Deemed the best of the best by editors Karen and Brad, these top 101 complete original one-page articles consist of real-world applications and common tools and approaches. 101 Good Ideas contains more implementation examples about quality improvement than several books put together. A valuable resource for long-time readers of Quality Progress or first-time visitors to the world of improving processes, the articles have been grouped by topic categories so you can find just what you're looking for with ease.

Customer Reviews:

Better Idea.......2001-01-31

A better idea is to get a different book (for example, the Improvement Guide).

Terrific collection of tips for quality professionals........1998-12-30

There are many (self-help) books for quality professionals, most of which are either rehashes of other more detailed books or simply exhortations to do this or do that. This book is a collection of the best columns of ("It worked for me!") useful tips that have appeared in the regular "One Good Idea" column of "Quality Progress" between April 1988 and January 1998. The columns deal with process improvement, training, data and statistics. I found 42 of the 101 (roughly two-page) articles to be of immediate benefit to me. That's less than $0.50 (US) per useful tip!

Book Description

Innovation has a more and more important role in all industries, leading to a growing interest on the efficient management of the innovation process. For a better understanding of this process, it has been organised in 5 stages: idea generation, idea selection, idea development, idea implementation and revision.

This work provides a short review for each one of these 5 stages of the innovation process, its tools, methodologies and processes. The AutoEuropa case study, described in this work, illustrates an innovation process in which a large number of tools and methodologies have been used with excellent results. In this case, a prototype idea management system has been used with a strong impact on the results, specially, at the organisation and productivity level of the idea management team. For a better understanding of the current practices of innovation management, a survey has been developed, distributed and analysed. The survey results provided information on which are the tools and methodologies more used and graded the organisations as active, watcher or passive. From the analysis of the results, it was possible to detect significant correlations between the use of the different tools and confirm that the organisation described in the case study had made a strongly innovative initiative.

Customer Reviews:

Great information for everyone!!!.......2005-06-15

This book is a great read! It lays out the rules for having credit cards and checking accounts that I wish I had when starting out with my personal finances. I finally found out how checks are used by banks and department stores. And I like the ways to protect myself from getting my personal information ripped off and my credit ruined. And the ways to get out of financial trouble if your in it are wonderful.

This book also has many ways to get free money in the form of grants for college and starting a business that I find useful. Many foundations and the government have a lot of money they give away every year. There is a lot of free money out there that I didn't even know about, like credit cards and special financing deals for cars and furniture.

I always thought that a budget was about counting pennies, but I was wrong. The way to create a budget in the book is easy and makes sense. And there is a lot of good information about easy investing for the future. I loved it!

THEE book to start at for newcomers into real estate.......2001-07-23

I am a real estate investor for 10 years now. Have amassed a personal library of well over $10,000 of tapes and books on the subject. And personally involved in 40 real estate transactions in the yr 2000. With that said, this is the book to read.

My first year of marriage had my non-real estate wife read that book. In exchanged, I was forced to endure, Man are from Mars and Woman are for Venus. I wanted for her to understand financial philosophies.

This is a timeless book of philosophy. For you newcomers in real estate here's a precious idea... Look at 100 homes in a neighborhood. Talk to the realtor and the mortgage broker and analyse the deal. Guess what, at the end of those 100 homes you are the expert! Now every house you see in that area, MAKE AN OFFER! No more excuses after that.

Okay, I know you still have the no money excuse. Blah, just "noise" in your head.

Read this book if interested in real estate investing. Don't if you aren't. It's a fun read with cartoon character of workers going to work with carrots on their head. Dont worry that its written in 1980? It is timeless.

You Can Do It Too.......2000-07-16

We used Mr Greene's book and began our own home rental business. In less than 2 years, with no prior realestate knowledge or experience we have acquired 8 homes, 2 duplexes, an apartment complex (hardly tycoon speed!) AND generated a large positive cash flow. We have also been able to take advantage of his tax strategies, and received unbelievable returns. Thanks to Mr Greene, our business is expanding rapidly, and my husband will soon be retiring from his job, never to work for someone else again. We see a very lucrative future ahead. The tax laws in this country were set up in a time when most everyone owned their own businesses. To take advantage of tax benefits, you must have some kind of business. Use his insight to see what YOU can do to take advantage of the benefits that were created for us all.

Underground Classic on Real Estate Investing.......2000-06-22

It really is possible to purchase real estate profitably with little or no money down, or even cash back. While some information is outdated, Greene provides a comprehensive, easy to read and funny introduction to the subject. The step by step plans work; more important, he shows you the principles of building a bank relationship, finding suitable properties, and negotiation. However, one should research the subject thoroughly, including talking to experienced and creative no-money-down investors in one's area, and looking at many properties,as Greene recommends. Greene also shares some of his Libertarian Philosophy, showing how average people can make money, while warning against some of the nuttier government regulations
