Hello.
What literature can be found for strength, load, deflection, and all other such calculations?
And now I'm only thinking about what's related to houses and buildings, no bridges or machinery etc.
So the literature should ideally show the building designer's way of working, with the simplifications in the form of tables and rules of thumb that the building engineer uses.
I am interested in wood, steel, and concrete, but wood is a little more interesting than the other two.
My prior knowledge (in this area) is a 4-year technical education, so once upon a time, I was pretty good at calculating fractures, yield points, deflections, etc., on metal beams. (though, of course, only the basics)
I probably still have the formula collection somewhere, so that part should be quick to review.
But I'm looking for course literature, professional literature (of the right level of complexity), and links to helpful resources online.
There are some useful resources on traguiden.se and Boverket's BBR, but it feels like one must first learn to think like a building engineer.
A hefty book on dimensioning must be the perfect evening read.

Hi.
I'm looking for the same thing as you, unfortunately I haven't found anything good either.
If you come across a good book, I would be happy if you let me know.
Take care.
Niklas
