Below are a series of RAG vector databases of open source engineering textbooks, those licensed under Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivative Works (CC BY-NC-ND 4.0). These works are distributed here un-modified (the text in all chunks exactly replicate the original text, and merely changing the format never creates a derivative). As such, these RAGs are also licenced under CC BY-NC-ND 4.0.
I have provided enough here to complete an engineering university-level education specifically for steel design, that is:
1. Statics
2. Mechanics
3. Materials
4. Structural Analysis
5. Beginners Guide to the Steel Construction Manual, 16th ed.
