Civil Engineering

    Hi lads, I'm studying Civil Engineering in the Netherlands, but English being my first language I'm looking for some decent English language textbooks. What book(s) is used the most at Uni courses in Ireland? My current project relates to designing and calculating a steel tied arch bridge. Are there any particular books which cover this subject?

    I've found the Dutch textbooks covering the subject, but naturally I much prefer English.

    Thanks.

    I'm sure there must be... This is just a gratuitous post to hopefully whip up some interest...

    The NUIGalway steel lecturer gives out his own book of notes which most of the class would use for it. In fact for most of our courses we didn't really use books. I think a book by Nethecott or Nevecott or something was recommended for steel as well but I can't remember it being much use.

    If I were you, I'd look on Amazon.co.uk and read the reviews there to get advice on which books are best for Civil Eng.

    structural steelwork by T J MacGunley is pretty good for an all round steel book. Doesn't specifically deal with bridges though.
