The resisant virtues of the structure that we seek depend on their form; it is through their form that they are stable, not because of an awkward accumulation of material. There is nothing more noble and elegant from an intellectual viewpoint than this: to resist through form. Eladio Dieste






RE: Structural Library
The ones kept on hand are generally the ones I used in school (all three of them)....
Concrete - MacGregor
Steel - Salmon and Johnson
Analysis - McCormac
Matrix Analysis - Weavor
FEA - Bathe
Str. Dynamics - Craig (also Chopra)
Seismic - Farzad Niem
Foundations - Das
Composites - Gibson (also Whitney)
Plates and Shells - Timoshenko
Stability - Timoshenko
Along with those are the ever changing code books like ASCE 7, ASD, LRFD, ACI, etc.

I am also looking for a better foundation book if anyone knows of one. Is Das better than Bowles?
RE: Structural Library
My old company had the five volume ACI Manual of Concrete Practice, which is great.
