Outdated Structural Engineering Tools

RE: Outdated Structural Engineering Tools

I got my PE I 1984.

Those were the days when things were free. I still have a lot of good free books from US Steel & Bethlehem Steel.

RE: Outdated Structural Engineering Tools

Forgot about the Asphalt Institute. I had/have that publication. I just went to look for it, to no avail, but I came across my Southern Pine Manual c. 1975 by the Southern Forest Products Association.

We used to get free AISC Manuals from fabricators. This was in the early 60s.
