For Steel - Salmon and Johnson's "Steel Structures - Design and Behavior"

Another general purpose publication to consider would be ASCE 7 for loading criteras. Maps & charts show expected wind, seismic, snow, etc. around the USA.

Get a big three-ring binder, and anytime you run across some useful information, put it in there. Items such as magazine articles, calculations from other engineers, formulas, etc. You'll be surprised how often you'll refer to this in your career. I have several binders now that are organized for concrete, steel, wood, etc.
