Essential textbooks for Structural Engineering 1

[dtra23]

Hi guys,
So i'm just fresh graduate working in structural engineering.
Was just wondering if you guys could recommend the best text books covering any structural design topic which reference the AS/NZ standards?
I already know of the steel designers handbook, and reinforced concrete basics.
Was hoping to find more gems like this which provide detailed guidance into the stuff they never really taught at uni.
Cheers

Maybe:

AS4100 Supplement 1 - Commentary

This appears to have been broken into sections, though as a start:

http://steel.org.au/bookshop/handbo...ural-steel-connections-background-and-theory/

and

http://steel.org.au/bookshop/design-capacity-tables-for-structural-steel-vol1-open-sections/

http://steel.org.au/bookshop/design-of-structural-hollow-section-connections-vol1-design-models/

http://steel.org.au/bookshop/design-capacity-tables-for-structural-steel-vol-2-hollow-sections/

I omitted this earlier, as I personally found it a bit too applied (for me, as a mechanical engineer anyhow), though it may be of interest to you, given your cited objectives and background:
