No arrival yet after 1 month!
| Customer Rating: | | I can't give a review of this book as it has not arrived yet. It was ordered Oct.8th from "customlov". You said it would take 5 to 10 bus days to arrive in Hawaii and so far nothing has come. We are really upset and will never ever use a 3rd party again. This service is unreliable. The book is for my architect husband and he has needed it for designing a home here in Kona and is at an extreme disadvantage without this book. Amazon should somehow correct this situation and rapidly. |
Basic Book for Professionals
| Customer Rating: | This is intended for the professionals-engineers, architects, and other practicioners such as urban plannera and designers; only the most advanced "pontist" will find this of great interest.
More than a pontist needs to know in order to appreciate the aesthetics and the solving of construction problems that are found in the great numbr of albums and popular histories past and present. |
Simplified Engineering for Architects and Builders
| Customer Rating: | | This book is very helpful in clearly understanding the process of sizing materials for construction. I highly recommend this book. |
Wrong presentation for the target audience
| Customer Rating: | | The book's title claims to be simplified engineering for architects and builders, members of the latter group often having no engineering training. As such, I expected the book to cover key structural and other building engineering issues in engineering terms in an appropriate tutorial format. Instead, the book is a collection of reference materials, distilled down. I majored in EE in college and took several semesters of static and dynamic engineering courses, and still had problems with this book because of the lack of contextual information to the presentation. This book does not at all deliver on the goal defined by its title. |
Overrated - This book is "broken"
| Customer Rating: | GOOD: The book does an excellent job presenting steel concepts and is adequate in concrete.
POOR: As an instructor for structures courses for architects, this book is simply disastrous. The wood section, also, is incomplete. Errors run rampant through the book's text, examples, and problem solutions through the book. Even within the same edition, book answers can vary book to book. Furthermore, current methods are mixed with the old leading to an incorrect presentation of the subject matter. In short, this book falls far short of the reputation which preceded it.
