Temporary Structures in Construction, Third Edition

This book is acceptable, but despite its thickness is not as comprehensive as I would have liked. It is more informative then practical; and that is probably what it should be, Construction Engineers (I use to be one early in my carrier) requires a considerable amount of knowledge in engineering, you could not possibly place all the information needed to solve the gamma of construction engineering problems in one book.Anyway, the book is good, it gives you some guidelines, and it provides you with some good references to expand research on specific topics. Unfortunately it does not provide sufficient detail for actual design in a number of topics, e.g. trench plate design and formwork design.Bryan

Good reference for students and professionals.

its a reference covering a lot of topics and temporary structures. some other books cover more details and design than this does but I can find in this book more and new important topics and information with all the topics covered. I recommend it for every engineer who works in construction and repair of structures.

In excellent condition, totally worth the price.
