old book - lothers
has anyone heared of an old book on steel design by some one named lothers? i would like to obtain a copy
try googling....
here's one of several links...
sometimes you can find books like that on ebay. i have purchased several old structural text books, aisc and aci manuals on there. also, alibris books (
lothers, 2nd ed, is a text which i still have from university days and occasionally use. so i am hanging on to mine. looks like from the link ron gave that it is easily obtainable.
i am not sure of edition # but thats what i studied in engineering school in 1987-88
thanks ron
i tried the book sites but it appearsthey will not ship tp canada. oh well !

i got a copy (unfortunately from an engineer who passed away) and it' pretty good. good examples, real life cases, analyze and design.

as a matter of interest what's so special about this book?
two things are special
1. sentimental ...i used it in when i was in engineering school in 1955 ha hah

i can relate to that.
my favourite text books at school in 1979 was "timoshenko and young theory of structures" and "brezler, lin and scalzi design of steel structures" i still have them in my library and wouldn't be without them even if there hopelessly outdated.
hope you find it eventually.
rittz,
here is one i found on ebay.
