Title: The best compact reference book for science to construction
Product review: This tiny (2/3s the dimensions of a paperback) is a compilation of the most useful engineering, construction and hard science information, figures, conversions and calculations around. For certain, it doesn't match the detail of the CRC Handbook, but for everyday use, it is unparalleled.Need to know the maximum span of a 2 x 10 spruce-pine-fir joist (grade 1) under a 10lb/square foot dead load?[1]Need to know the density of Mercury?[2]Need to know the area code of Belize City?[3]Need to know the discharge rate for a weir 18 feet wide with a 4 inch head?[4]Need to know the formula for volume of a cone?[5]And it has a metric/english ruler.[1] 16 feet[2] 13.546g/cc[3] 501-2[4] 288 x 18 GPM[5] V = (pi x r x r x h)/3
