What are your favorite engineering references for structural engineering? Particularly one's that are less widely known or where you seem to keep going back to it?
 
Aside from the AISC Manual and various design standards:

AISC Design Guides: many of them
AISC Engineering Journal articles: many of them.
SSRC Stability Design Criteria for Metal Structures
Structural Steel: Salmon, Johnson, and Malhas
Concrete: MacGregor
Wood: Breyer
Structural Dynamics: Chopra
Stability: Timoshenko and Gere
Advanced Mechanics of Materials: Boresi and Schmidt
Structural Analysis (basic): Laursen
 
I find myself referencing Alexander Newman’s books quite a bit.
 
I use the web for design information for most things. My books are mostly 50 years old and 'classics'. I haven't referenced them in likely 20 years or more. That includes "Design of Welded Structures" by Blodgett
