Reinforced Concrete: Mechanics and Design (7th Edition)
by James K. Wight, James G. MacGregor · Pearson
Reinforced concrete textbook that derives design rules from the mechanics of concrete and steel before applying the ACI 318-14 code. Explains why the ACI provisions exist instead of just how to apply them, which makes it the deepest single text on concrete design. Covers flexure, shear, torsion, development length, columns, slabs, footings and strut-and-tie models. 1,176 pages.

Trade magazine published by NCSEA, CASE and SEI, carrying practitioner articles on building codes, materials, forensic investigations and completed projects. Reading issues builds a sense of how structural design decisions get argued, defended and revised in practice.
FEMA P-749: Earthquake-Resistant Design Concepts (2nd Edition, 2022)
Seismic loads drive much of real design practice. This guide explains the reasoning behind the code without needing the paid ASCE 7 standard, and Part B is written for early-career engineers. Free FEMA guide to the intent behind US seismic code provisions. Part A explains earthquake risk and design principles in plain terms. Part B walks early-career engineers through the seismic design process for new buildings and the weak points of common structural systems.
Companion to the AISC Steel Construction Manual, v16.0 (Design Examples and Design Tables)
Free two-volume PDF from AISC. Volume 1 has about 1,050 pages of worked LRFD and ASD design examples for members, connections and a full building system under AISC 360-22. Volume 2 adds design tables. The AISC 360-22 Specification is also a free download. It bridges textbook theory and how practicing engineers apply the current spec.
