Uniform Building Code 1997: Structural Engineering Design Provisions (Uniform Building Code Vol 2: Structural Engineering Design Provisions)

Rating:
Summary: Formating changes make this a challenging book to read
Review: 1. The overwhelming amount of format changes since '94 edition were unnecesary and confusing. Reference books such as these need a standardized format to allow for easier access to information. 2. Removal of many convenient tables and charts make this book less useful. 3. Calculations too complex to be of practical use. Complexity will certainly lead to errors.
