Dr. Wai-Fah Chen -- A well-respected leader in the field of plasticity, structural stability, and structural steel design over the past half-century, he has made major contributions to introduce the mathematical theory of plasticity to civil engineering practice, especially in the application of limit analysis methods to the geotechnical engineering field. Having headed the engineering departments at the University of Hawaii and Purdue University, Chen is a widely cited author and the recipient of several national engineering awards, including the 1990 Shortridge Hardesty Award from the American Society of Civil Engineers and the 2003 Lifetime Achievement Award from the American Institute of Steel Construction.

W. F. Chen, Ph.D. Brown University, Member of U.S. National Academy of Engineering and Member of Taiwan National Academy of Science ( Academia Sinica), formerly Distinguished Professor of Civil Engineering at Purdue University and Dean of Engineering at University of Hawaii. He is currently a Research Professor of Civil Engineering at UH.

This is an incredible reference book for any civil engineer. The price may appear a bit high but for the amount of information you are getting one could argue it is actually cheap! This is the most inclusive handbook I have ever used.

4.0 out of 5 stars all-inclusive, but not too useful on the P.E. exam
Reviewed in Canada on May 23, 2002
If you operate a plant, or design frequently, or if you consult, and often are challenged with new concepts, this is useful, but I purchased it for use in the P.E. last year and it's not as useful as I'd hoped for that. It's just too much un-related information, and frankly, it covers a lot of NON-civil topics, too. On many common civil topics, it's mute, or nearly so. I know others who've found it a good desk reference, however.

Pretty much everything you need to know in one book. It won't make you a specialist of, said geotechnical or hydraulic engineering, but it will get you all the basics you need in you professional life.

The content of the book is excellant. It covers a wide range of the civil engineering discipline. However, the particular book that I received had been shipped to me in an oversized brown paper bag type wrapping, which allowed the book to tumble freely. It's a 3 inch thick volume with what I would call a low end quanlity binding. Needless to say, it could not withstand the trip and the binding arrived torn. Corners of the cover were bent. It's a shame. I would have added this book to my library.
