Verulam (readers' letters – March 2015)

This comprehensive book would make a useful companion for students of structural engineering, believes Ian May, seeing them though from undergraduate courses to postgraduate study or their first career steps as structural engineers.

Adrian Long finds this to be a well-written and useful book, which will be of value to structural engineers involved in reinforced concrete design and, particularly, to lecturers thanks to its extensive list of references to research papers.
