Customer Review
The first impression I had of the book was " I really have to do 345 problems? and is it worth my precious study time? The answers were yes and yes. The structure and thought that went into this book was perfectly in sync with the structure of the ASCE 7 and the Hiner study manual. My confidence was shot when I failed the Seismic exam twice. This book will slowly walk a novice through the detailed steps of solving seismic design problems. For the experienced structural designer, it is important to do every problem no matter how insignificant because after doing these problems it was amazing how much I was missing on the first 2 exams. I highly recommend this book in combination with the Hiner study manual, and the Sample exams from Majid Baradar.
