Free Structural Engineering Textbooks [Sydney] 2

[handofthelion]

Hi all engineers of Sydney,

I am moving on from the profession and have 10 structural engineering related textbooks that are looking for a new home at no charge, for pickup in Ashfield (or post at your expense)!

Here are the textbooks that are available:

Here is the list - happy for someone to take them all or a selection, I will strike out once they are taken:
[ul]
[li]Structural Analysis - Hibbeler (7th Ed)[/li]
[li]Design of Joints in Steel and Composite Structures (EC3 & EC4) - Jaspart & Weynand[/li]
[li]Ethics, Technology & Engineering - van der Poel & Royakkers[/li]
[li]Dynamics of Structures: Theory and Application to Earthquake Engineering - Chopra[/li]
[li]Worked Example for Steel Structures: AS4100-1998 - Bradford, Bridge, Trahair[/li]
[li]Hollow Sections in Structural Applications - Wardenier et. al[/li]
[li]Composite Steel Design - Durack & Kilmister[/li]
[li]Fundamentals of Fluid Mechanics (6th Ed) - Munson et. al[/li]

Venturing into the software world or other greener pastures?

Thank you for creating SectionProps, wish you success in your future endeavors.

Hi handofthelion I have sent you an email regarding the above post.

All the books have a new home and are no longer available.

@Celt83, doing a 180 and going into nursing, but still spending time on open source engineering software - watch this space

Good for you. I’ve seen some of the chatter going on github, think the pandemic gave some folks a shift in perspective or just a bit of extra time to try out these projects.

A star for you, that's generous... After graduation, we ran into an engineering student from Mexico who was lamenting the limited texts they had. A bunch of us rounded up all the texts we could find and shipped a crate of them down... I only have one engineering text from university left.

Rather than think climate change and the corona virus as science, think of it as the wrath of God. Feel any better?

@Celt83, doing a 180 and going into nursing

Oh wow. Big change. Why did you decide to leave?

There's more money in it, silly!

There are many reasons why someone might choose to move from engineering to nursing in Australia, but I very much doubt that money is one of them!

Anyway, best wishes with the new career, and I hope time allows progress with the software development.

Good luck on the new career Robbie!

I've tried to exit engineering a few times to do something else after getting burnt out, but after a year or two of doing nothing have always found my way back or been talked back onto the ledge... hopefully you learn from my mistakes and have a long and successful career in nursing

Looks like someone scored some good texts.
