The Schneider Bautabellen für Ingenieure [Construction Tables for Engineers] have been one of the standard works in civil engineering for over 50 years are also of great use to architects and engineers in other areas of the construction sector. They contain all the essential tables, formulas, definitions and laws that are required for studies and everyday work.

From now on, the 24th edition of the construction tables is available to all members of Trier University of Applied Sciences in the form of the online database Bautabellen-digital. The database can be accessed via campus computers and via VPN.
