i ordered on 28th and received on 29th. it was really fast. the book is brand new with hardcover. it is in very good quality.

I received a brand new copy of the book with a hard cover, contrary to the claim made in some reviews.It was also delivered in good shape,in a couple of days, which really surprised me. The book has been written in an easy to understand, clear, concise manner and is a great textbook with all required references to the Canadian Standards. Almost all the topics on the design of beams, slabs, and foundations etc., were discussed with great worked out examples and exercises. The only thing I missed in this book was the design of a two-way slab, for which I had to refer to other textbooks. Apart from this, it should make a great text for Canadian students!

I ordered this book twice from Amazon and twice returned it. It was advertised on their site as 'hardcover' and I twice received a softcover book. I was very disappointed since trying to keep open a 700 page softcover book is nearly impossible and quite infuriating. The content of the book however is next to none. The Canadian author highlights the main formulas used in each design, gives a concise chapter summary and always references the clause in the concrete design handbook. This book is a great reference for any civil engineering student and must have; if you can get your hands on a hardcover!
