Review: This book has evolved over the author’s 20 years experience of using spreadsheets as a way of keeping notes. It begins by explaining how engineers can use spreadsheets for basic as well as more advanced applications. The author then demonstrates how to use spreadsheets to prepare engineering calculations for an exhaust stack and an elevated storage tank. The book and CD-ROM contain more than 50 templates in Excel, illustrating the techniques and specific applications for concrete, wind and seismic issues, foundations and backloading, the vortex shedding of tall stacks, and other engineering applications.
