This book addresses the techniques and products currently available to civil engineers, reviewing their features and highlighting advantages and deficiencies. Case histories of users may be of particular interest.

Designed so that professionals can create the structural calculation package and the detailing as quickly and economically as possible. Contains 239 representative drawings, each one on a separate page that includes a description, a checklist summarizing the detail and a small plan view which suggests the location on the structural drawing where the detail can be applied. An accompanying disk in CAD format allows users to import the details and customize them to their needs. In addition, every drawing is saved in a separate file in .DXF format that can be loaded into most CAD software programs and modified, plotted or printed as needed.
