Title: Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and Other Structures, ASCE 7-10
Date: Reviewed in the United States on May 6, 2013
Review: Exceptional source of design data. In one book is included most of the design variables required for a cost effective design.

Naturally its not a panacea for all parameters, it should be used with discipline.

It will be an integral part of my library, and I would recommend it for design engineers and final year structures 1 and 2.

Title: Typical Design Manual
Date: Reviewed in the United States on July 30, 2013
Review: It is a typical ASCE design manual. Easy to read (if you're an engineer). Was easy enough for me to find the information I was looking for (not typical of some other design manuals). I needed it for 2 sentences and 2 lines in a table. Be careful though, your local building code may require an older version.

Title: The title says it all.

Review: This is a real page turner, as you are constantly having to refer to tables and specification in other chapters. The book covers the standard methods for calculating the loads that nature will apply to a structure through wind, snow, rain and earthquakes. Do not look for any examples or application guides within the volume. It is purely the specification and supporting material.

Title: There were notes penciled in that were useful. I have been designing buildings for 40 years
Date: Reviewed in the United States on January 9, 2016
Review: I'm a design engineer. I need the book. My older book is obsolete. There were notes penciled in that were useful. I have been designing buildings for 40 years. I can't believe people take this crap seriously.

Review: Huge change for Wind load, and load combinations. Rest almost same as ASCE 7-05. Like some ASCE codes, there are several errata for this code. I personally do not like its commentary chapters, they are not well organized.

Review: This was a great book however I rarely used it. I was to busy trying to keep it in good conditions since I had rented it. Plus my teacher wrote everything on the board we needed from this book. Good reference

Title: It's a code book!
Date: Reviewed in the United States on May 29, 2014
Review: It is something an Engineer is required to follow. The newest version is always required and this is the newest at this time and trying to follow it , it helps to have a copy.

Title: Great Merchant, Book is Dull as Paint Drying.
Date: Reviewed in the United States on August 12, 2013
Review: What can I say. Surely, even to an Engineer this is dull stuff. That said, it came as advertised, on time, in perfect condition. Best price in town.
