Can anyone recommend some good design aides/books for commercial design engineering?

RE: Commercial design

can you define "commercial design engineering " and what field (i.e. civil, structural, mechanical or electrical)

RE: Commercial design

(OP)
I am a structural engineer.  Most of my experience is in heavy industry, such as steel mills.  I am looking for reference materials on commercial design standards for such things as retail buildings, restaurants and office buildings.

I have already looked at the various building codes.  I also just bought a copy of Architectural Graphic Standards, which is very useful.  Are there any other suggestions out there?  It never hurts to have too many resources.

RE: Commercial design

You may look at "Floor vibrations due to human activity" Steel design guide series # 11 (AISC).
Commercial buildings with spans 40-50 feet will require vibration check.

RE: Commercial design

U can Consult a book"Design of Concrete Structures" by Nilson
